What is the Purpose of Life? Be Happy?

For many people the answer is ‘to be happy’ and it is partially correct. The problem is that it is
really hard to be happy because of how the world is. An example is most people hate to work and
study but love and have fun using smart phone all the time yet working and studying are
considered important and necessary but using smartphone all the time is considered adverse and it
is also bad for health. Another example is healthy food and fast food. We all love the taste of fast
food and we all hate the taste of most of the healthy food yet we all should eat healthy food and
not eat fast food. These are just two of the many reasons why world is in a way in which we can’t
remain happy.

The Rat Race

In India when you are just 1.5 years you are send to play group which is like a preschool then you are
send to school till the age of 16 in which you have 6 hours of school, 4 hours of classes and
sometimes during exams the classes can go up to 7 hours. Next you have collage and then a job. In
the job you spend your remaining life trying to earn money and most people retire at the age of 65.
Now you have just a few years of life remaining. You spend your entire life just to earn some money.
This system is wrong as you don’t get enough time to live your life peacefully.

Should Humans go Extinct?

According to me ‘definitely’. We don’t know the purpose of our life and on top of that it is really
hard to be happy. You might have heard people saying ‘we should do something so
humans don’t go extinct’ but it is pointless. If we go extinct nobody is going to care as there
will be nobody to care.

How should we go Extinct? No Reproduction?

One way to go extinct is no reproduction. Most humans are either middle class or lower class. If
they have a child most of their time and money will go behind raising the child with no guarantee
that it is going to be helpful and will pay back in the future. The parents will die but what they will
leave behind is their child who will have to face global warming, floods, draught, etc. If any parents
will have a child both the parent and the child will have to suffer.
