What is the purpose of life..?

  

  That was a normal evening at office and I was passing by a construction site parallel to my building.People usually have coffee breaks standing in the open corridor facing the construction site.I have never stood there but used  to cross that path for exit.

But on that day, i had invited myself to the corridor for 10 mins.I saw the construction workers working and the pillars they were raising.

I noticed one person holding a lunch box walking past the building through a narrow path, smiling and talking on the phone.

I was thinking about what his thoughts would be.He might be thinking of his family or friends or holidays or food or get together or his problems?

Of course he has his own difficulties, stress as the work is risky sometimes.Still he is here for some reason.

I realised that whatever problems I face now might be nothing to him.Everybody faces some problems in life.It differs from each, on how one handles it and how one considers it.

People say, you got to look to other people's laurels for your growth but look at the sufferers for your happiness to realize how better your life is.

The basic things we enjoy is still a dream for many.

The beautiful lines by the famous Tamil poet Avvaiyar always linger in my mind.

"அரிதரிது மானிடர் ஆதல் அரிது

மானிடர் ஆயினும் கூன்குருடு செவிடு

பேடு நீங்கிப் பிறத்தல் அரிது" Meaning -It is  a rare gift to be born as a human being but to be born without being deaf, blind and diseases is even more a rare gift.

"கொடிது கொடிது வறுமை கொடிது

அதனினும் கொடிது இளமையில் வறுமை"Meaning-Poverty is the cruel thing in the world but poverty at younger age is even more cruel.

So be grateful for the things you have and share them with others.The feeling of making others happy is priceless.

Life teaches us many lessons at different stages.Sometimes we succeed but every time we learn from it.

Trust me, spend at least 10 mins for you whenever you feel exhausted to think and understand life like is it worthy to trouble yourself for the things which are actually not the problems?

Stressing about things for longer time eventually becomes a problem.

Life is uncertain. Never miss a single moment to be happy because 'The purpose of life is to be happy'
