Is There A Purpose In Life To Be Content About

By Eula Clarke


A lot of people want to know what the meaning of life is. The question of is there a purpose in life is something that regularly comes up. This goes over in one's mind and often there is never an answer. Often this is because one is never happy and content in their lives or there is a psychological disorder.

There are many reasons why people are satisfied with life and don't think about this too much. They may be spiritual or religious and this never crosses their minds. The Christian faith looks forward to a life where they will be in heaven once they have fulfilled their time on earth. Muslims submit to God as well.

Many people turn to religion and their faith will answer their reason for their existence on earth. This is why they have a definite purpose in life. In the Islamic faith, they will serve God and submit to him continuously. These thoughts are not supposed to enter their minds. God is meant to be the creator and heaven is the place that one will enter after death.

The person who is negative about this, does not have something to work towards. They always find that things do not work out for them. There is no sense of direction for them and most of the time this is because there are no goals in life and they have nothing to look forward to.

A lot of people have moved away from their faith and have turned to evolution as an alternative. There is a lot of proof of Darwin's theory and this is not a purpose of life for them. Man has just been put on earth because of this particular theory and people who believe in this will just accept it.

One can always look to evolution and base this on that particular theory. That will tell you why we are here. There is no spiritual reason according to Darwin. With this in mind, one is just put on the earth because they have been developed in a certain way and there is no real meaning.

One must also find out and know what you believe in and this will help you decide what your purpose is. This is important to a lot of people. It may be something religious, it may be evolution, or it may be something more personal. Being happy and content with life is the most important thing because this will keep you away from pondering on this subject too much.

In saying that, it is not easy just to switch on a button and to become content with life. This is a process and you have to take it in stages. This is why it is best to work with someone because it is difficult to know where to start if you are on your own.
