Purpose

Went to a wake tonight.

The mother of a friend passed away last weekend due to a sudden illness. During the memorial service, the minister made a remark that struck a cord.

He said -- a happy man is one who knows the answers to three essential questions:
  • Where does man come from?
  • What happens to a man after death?
  • What is a man's purpose while he is alive on earth?
True enough, a person's worldview about the meaning of life -- and the way to live a meaningful life -- is encapsulated in his answers to these three simple questions.

It's the last question that I personally have a lot of trouble with. :(
