What is the point of Life? Why should I remain living?
This
is a question that no one can answer. Philosophers take this question
on every day. Personally, I am confident in saying that this big
question is subjective. Every man and women needs to find their own
answer to this question. If you find yourself living for the reasons of
others around you, you are merely a shadow. Eventually you will wake up
and wonder what you are doing, and what's the point of life?
I had to ask myself the question: Why should I remain living? Here is MY answer:
I
should remain living because life should be a constant pursuit of
happiness and knowledge, two things I gave up on for a short time in my
life. My adventure here on earth is not even close to being finished.
There are many mountains that I have yet to climb, rivers I still need
to drink from, and people I need to meet. I live from the love of
nature and people, the mountains are were my soul feels the most peace.
Happiness to me is nothing dealing with material items at all, with
hiking shoes on my feet, my pack on my back, and as much knowledge and
love for people I can gather in my mind and soul, I would consider
myself to be rich. I find the most wealth out of the work that I do to gain knowledge and love for the world than I do working for income. I made the courageous choice to continue my life when I lost sight of why I was living in the first place.
