and in the end, it doesnt even matter

Among the best feelings in the world, the ones i can describe are the feeling of relief, joy, love, freedom and many others. Some specific things that i can think of at this moment is the steaming feeling after a hot shower just before you go to bed (usually during winter this feeling is especially awesome), the feeling of realization of someone that really cares about you and more.

The reason I'm highlighting these types of feeling leads me onto my question which is what in life do we look to accomplish? Fair enough we all want to lead happy peaceful lives, filled with love happiness and joy, but this is not a reality and certainly not a way a single person i know lives their lives. Three are millions of people around the world who live each day not knowing what they are going to eat, or are they going to survive another day.

As people, we look to accomplish things to lead a decent live at least. Part of accomplishing these things involves what we do. We all (most of us) go to school to study and learn, after which we further our studies in fields we feel we are interested in and at the same time will be meaningful to us. Meaningful in a sense as that there are jobs for our field so we can earn a living, and when we have the capacity to study something in a more specialized field such as medicine or engineering, we work towards that goals to increase our earning capacity. Most of us choose paths to get the most out of what we do. We study to get a qualification and then we start working in a job and look to progress in that job and with these moves, we become more valuable in terms of resource and in the end we look to earn as much as we can.

If we take a look at some of the people who are fortunate enough to have enough money as not to worry about such things most of the people in our world have to deal with, we will see that they all are not working hard studying and pursuing a career after which they can retire peacefully. They do what they want, since the monetary part is covered.

Even though we don't have that kind of money, our perspective in life is important as well. I know that we can get caught up in life with our careers and working life, that we forget the reason we work and earn money. We forget our dreams and what means the most to us. We get into the rat race of a boring life, doing the same things day in and day out. We sign up to work and commit ourselves to working hours yet how many times you feel that you want to go to work everyday? We believe that this is how our lives need to be and the worst part is we forget.

I do feel that we can still enjoy what makes us feel happy and what we live for even with progressing in our careers. Life is very fragile, we can be here one moment and gone the next. We cannot progress after we die, so why cant we enjoy life all the way through and not just put all our eggs in a basket on having a comfortable retirement?

"The best things in life are free"

Look to all the things that are really meaningful in life and remain happy even though things may not want you to be.
