A cocoon must be broken from the inside by a butterfly developing inside, if we break from the outside the butterfly may not be developed to its form. This example merely explains the importance of time. As everything happens in a time, we can't press acceleration and make ourselves fly faster than time. If we do so, there will be consequences for it. In another word, we can say that fruits rip at their time, we can make them rip faster than their time.

In the same manner, our life is bounded by the boxes of the calendar. We can't grow old before time, and we can't ignore the fact that at a certain time we start to develop inside the womb of our mother and on some particular time frame we will be decorated with flowers inside a tomb to be buried below the six feet under the ground.

The point about our life is crystal clear that it has both the starting and the ending points. This is what makes us think about the aim of life. And especially in our childhood period, every one of us will be facing this question " what is your aim in life? "

What is your aim in life?

Despite knowing where our life will go and ends, we make some arbitrary answers and keep on throwing those assumptions as the answers to the question related to the aim of life. Mostly we say, we want to be a doctor, a pilot, a soldier, etc. But these all answers will be wrong because becoming someone is the way of living life. It is the path that we will be committed to following and to hand a tag as an identity: Dr ABC. These are not the aim of life.

Then, what it is?

When we ask a person to work a whole day, he may give some achievement is his target in life. But when we go with some religious person, probably he will say that to get United with the lord is the ultimate goal of our life.

In this context, the religious approach is more scientific than the achievement of something in life like posts, identifications, titles etc.

The topic aim of life itself is a convoluted one. To understand this in-depth we must know what is life at the first hand?

Life???

In this world, there are three things one is the means and the other is the ends. Means don't have any destination. It remains as it is as it was and it will. Suppose what is the purpose of the car? Nothing, it will stand there until it gets a driver. The driver can use the car as a means or tool for making a hit on his destination. And the achievements which we can hold are the ends like as we have discussed above. Our achievements are the ends.

Besides this two there are things which are both at the time, it stands as one as means and end. For example love. Love can be achieved through love there is no way out of it.

We can reach love through love.....

Now, when we say life, life is both the means and ends self. If it is so, what is the relevance of asking what is your aim in life?

Life is achieved through life with the help of life. Life can't have a destination other than life itself.

But what we have understood

As mentioned earlier, and As I have stated above life is the journey from womb to tomb. This is how we believe that life is. This is what makes us imbue the importance of time in our life. And always we see our life based on the time frame. This is why we have answers to what is your aim in life?

Some people believe that the time interval between birth and death is life as a process of dying. Everyone is dying day by day: a baby to the old body lying in bed.

Every day we will be dying, if dying is life then what is the aim of life?

-Death?

This way or that way, it is clear that we haven't acknowledged the reality of life. This is why we have been wondering about the what is the aim of life?

When we have to discuss any topic at first we must ask questions about the topic: what it is? How it is? What is meant by this? But our habit of ignoring the pivotal part we are always attracted to the conclusions. When did someone ask what is the aim of life? We must ask them back what is meant by life?. First, we must make some effort on knowing the subject matter deeply.

If we can make a clear position on the topic, it goes in the wrong direction as

In a group of people if we say: God is the supreme power, then those persons taking these words will understand it as their holdings. Hindu people will understand his deities when he hears God, Christians will understand Jesus Christ, Muslims will understand Allah and so on. See, the meaning and subject matters differ from one head to another.

And also, if Hindus will say, " Lord Shiva is supreme power", others may not agree with it.

At the stopping point, I will repeat my words that life is both means and ends at the same time. Life can only take us to life. There is no such destination for life. But if we understand life as being encircled within a certain limit, we impose limitations on living which makes us believe that life has a certain other utility.

Thank you...
