The Purpose Of My Soul

This poem written by Anirban Saren is about discovering a key lesson in life from a brief but quite special experience.Happiness is the goal.

I saw you struggling from across the tables,
McDonald’s cleaning lady was one of your labels,
But beyond all names you are still special,
Until you’ve achieved your goals please never settle.

I saw someone came to help you,
Maybe a friend or colleague whom you knew,
Good people do exist in this world,
To believe in goodness, let that be my final word.

I saw my bubble tea was ready to drink,
And as I started to consume and think,
I lost sight of you,
But your memory is something I hold to.

I saw the beauty of life in your memory,
Sometimes I get lost in this reverie,
Then I realize being happy now is life’s only goal,
We never spoke but this realization from you to me was the purpose of my soul.

-Anirban Saren

The Purpose of Life

What’s the purpose of life?

I guess the purpose of life is to live a good life.

That’s it.

Although this depends upon your definition of a good life.

But that’s the beauty of life. You get to choose your definition of a good life.

But since everyone has a slightly different definition of a good life, does this make any sense?

It does. Because as long as you’re happy in life living your version of a good life, you have a purpose.

To live your good life, to be happy is the purpose of life.

I’m delighted that you’re reading this line. Thanks a lot!
