The pursuit of purpose

The seemingly useless fly is just a small part of a much bigger picture

Purpose is a rather subjective concept. It can take on different shapes to different people, and for some, the idea of having purpose itself is meaningless. Nevertheless, going through life with a vision makes the journey much more enjoyable. After all, the thought of travelling for years to an unknown, perhaps non-existent destination is not pleasant at all.

As young people who are just beginning to step into this colourful world, the pursuit of purpose becomes a tedious quest. Starting from our homes, throughout school, and until we enter into the world of work, we are constantly introduced to new subjects, new hobbies and new people on a daily basis. All of this is done in the hope that we may soon begin to deeply relate to any one of these things, thus acquiring an objective, or purpose. A student who enjoys biology may become a doctor in the future. A child who enjoys painting may become an artist in the future. A young person who idolises a singer may become a musician in the future. Thus, they will all have discovered their purpose in life, and we can rest assured that our future generation will be one that is ambitious and driven.
