I am certainly not claiming I under measure of life, and I am perfectly aware that different people adopt different measure, which is, and should be, everybody's freedom as long as one does not infringe others' rights. And I have no interest in judging what is better, but to share my two cents and perhaps to get some echos as well as different voices from generous readers.
“You know, the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not. ‘Have you found joy in your life?’, and 'Has your life brought joy to others?’”
- from the movie <Bucket List>
I quite like it.
Searching for the purpose of life and finding means to better one's (and others') life probably have puzzled many aspiring and curious minds, including mine. And I think it's a lifetime project, also a fun and intellectually stimulating project. At least for now, I think these two questions from ancient Egyptian culture seem quite spot-on. And inspired by that, I will venture on writing about my experiences and views on this topic.
