The Question of Life

Just back from a Kopi session with a few friends and the question of life, aka, what is your goal in life pops up.

It sent ripples of uneasiness all over me. Yah. so what's up next after school life? Its going to be a big step into the society.

I told them I want to be an architect. For reasons, I still am not quite clear yet. From my own hunch, I think I intuitively see that as a possible avenue to find my life worth in this short life span on earth. Being an architect itself is quite a task, to some a chore, to many a slave. I think I want to be a responsible one. At the very least, a critical one not bowing down to the lure of money. Tay Kheng Soon is quite a role model, despite his idealistic lofty ideas, he still makes things happen.

Ultimately, I think I just hope to make things happen. Sustaining the positive energy around me. Make life bearable for many others, most importantly myself. Most importantly, I must always know my limits before i can break it. that's as responsible as i can be. And of course my own happiness as the moral principle of my life and reason as the only absolute of life and myself as an end in myself, not a mean to any further end.
