Why You Are Lost: Finding Purpose
Mistaking Illusions of Desire for Your True Calling in Life
Are you lost? Have you found your purpose in life? Are you truly happy? I’ve been on a mental mission to figure out why people are so lost. This mental journey has made me question many aspects of human behaviour, societal influences and most importantly, myself.
We are often looking for purpose, unhappy with aspects of our lives and wanting, that thing, that leads us to serenity. I’ve always wanted to help people achieve those goals in life. But I’ve struggled to figure out how to save everyone. It’s an ambitious goal but I’ll keep going.
“Everyone’s lost but me?”
Quite an arrogant thing to say if it were a statement and not a question.
So how do I know if it’s me who’s right? What if it’s you who should be helping me?!
In Debate I always advocate for objectivity and the search for truth. I’ve done the same here and this is what I’ve found.
Searching for Truth
It’s difficult to be objective about yourself for one thing. What you believe is not necessarily what others perceive. Whether for the right reasons or not, the opinion of you, in others, doesn’t always match your own.
