 The ultimate goal
I do not know if there is an afterlife, I'd like to think so, so I do live by a moral code, not a religious one though.
I think our ultimate goal in this life, is to be accepted by other people. Think about it, every goal we set ourselves is to make ourselves grow or become succesfull, or accomplished, or well travelled, or to make ourselves fun people. All of these minor goals, they are just goals we set to achieve the ultimate goal of love. I think everybody just wants to feel accepted, even by just one person.
I know I set myself goals, and try to grow and become smarter. It is partially because I want to reach my potential, but honestly, it is mostly because I want people to look at my life and think, wow. I recently come to accept the fact that I try, usually subconciously, to make people fall for me, because all this self growth, it is just part of a big human chase to be better, so people will want you. |
