Meaning



People haven't found meaning in their lives, so they're running all the time trying to find it

 

People are racing through life, as kids were soon asked what do we want to do when we grow up? Society pressures us to get a job. Certain jobs carry societal prestige, while other jobs disdain.

 

The pressure to be rich, or at least as the middle class have found, the appearance of being rich, is a noose round our necks.

 

We rush through life for the better job, better career, build portfolios of qualifications or find ways to increase our bank accounts to levels far greater than need demands, in order to find meaning in a society that values wealth and status above all.

 

With all that running, we don't get time to stop and admire the beauty in the world. We don't get time to find true meaning in our lives.

 

Time to stop running.
