When we stop surviving & start truly living, we begin our quest towards the deeper meaning to our life. One of the ultimate reasons is to help out people in need; to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. There are people who bring a light so great to the world that even after they're gone, the light remains. We must crave for & work for something like that. We should make an effort to be wealthy in good deeds, not money. For when we die, the money won't help us but the deeds will. However, before we choose to spread that light to guide others, we must allow our inner light to guide us out of the darkness first. To grow, to discover, you need to experience involvement. Frustration...gloominess....grief....are all part of it, but how you overcome those maintaining a straight path is what enlightens you truly from deep within. Lastly, if you have the true light in your heart, you will find a way home. And that home shall be "the purpose" of your existence.
