What are we doing here?

These questions are consantly on my mind.

What are we all doing here on earth? What is our purpose? What does God want us to do with our lives? What is life all about?

I know these are some really difficult questions that no one will probably be able to answer until we're dead. But I sometimes find that I cannot stop thinking about them. The problems that we face every day seem so small considered to the world as a whole. Like the drama we face in school or what outfit I am debating about wearing tomorrow. What's the point? There's so much more to life than that.

This is why I think the books of our world are so important because they give different explainations of why we are all here. Each book or novel or short story or poem or whatever it is gives us insight to different opinions on what our purpose is. Some people live for the money, some people live for love. Some are just as lost as I am. I know it makes me feel sane when I read books because I know that I am not alone in this bustling world. Books help me keep motivated and never let me lose my way

I agree with you! I think that novels let us see all the differnt purposes of life. After you have read many different opinions of the purpose of life, it is your job to pick which one you want to believe and follow.
