Life. Why Are We Here?

Some people like structure - mission statement, vision statement, objectives, milestones and debriefs.

Some people like unstructured existence. They are the mavericks, the impulsive, the creative folks.

And then there are opportunists - these are hybrids - they exist in the creative realm and when they spot opportunity they also enjoy execution.

Having a god, a purpose in life, duties in different phases of life makes some people feel the warmth of their infantile security needs. They like their yellow blankie during day and night.

The true jedi's understand the "accident" of life and live it like children on a beach. The children on a beach are quiet, carrying their plastic buckets and shovels singlemindedly pursue building a sand castle without exchanging a single word.

It is the expression of their mind's imagination that counts. They are aware that the next big wave may swallow their hard-won creation yet they soldier on.

There is no big purpose, we are here so just make a decent existence of it. Build your own 'sandcastle' so that you may feel smug at the end of it.
