do you realize how long have you been living in this planet? how many times have you been blinking your eyes, how many times have you been preparing lunch, how long have you been working? we keep on doing the same thing. different problems everyday... we think a lot... why are we living , who are we living for? what makes sense in this world?

I don't mind doing the same basic things everyday, wake up, get my daughter ready, take her to school, go to work, work, leave work, get my daughter, get home, sometimes I make supper, sometimes my husband does, give my daughter a bath. Most days it's like this, weekends change a bit, because I don't work. Although everyday has the same routines, there are still the little things that make it special. Hugs and kisses from my daughter and husband, conversations with friends, colleagues, family, watching my daughter play and listening to her sing or talk, playing with my daughter, do some things on the internet, bed time is usually the time my husband and I talk about things in our day or things we plan on doing, or just commenting on the funny things our daughter did or said lately. Of course we have our problems and struggles, our dreams and wishes for the future, but I wouldn't mind living 500 years. We change throughout our lives, our relationships change, our perception of things change, we experience a whole bunch of things. My life's not perfect, but it's just fine for me and of course there are things I'd like to change for the better, but when it's things I have to work on to make the change, I will do it. Ultimately, I am a Christian and all things I do should be for God, I should let His love and light show through me, be an example for Him to others, that is what I try to never forget.

I dont really think about those questions you raised ! Every human being is put on this world for a purpose and I believe we just have to find our own specific purpose. For me, I look around and see what is different about myself, I mean what positive characters I have which someone else doesnt. When I think about it, if such a positive was found in me, then there is a reason for it and I try to build up on my positives and work out things in such a direction. Eventually being able to give something back, in my own capability, to this world. If I start looking and analysing matters like why I am living and for whom, then I guess I just have to go back all the way to the beginning and find the answers for why the world was created this way, why human beings were put in this world, why were human beings given the brains to develop the world in this manner, why couldnt he just live in the forest with basic essentials.....and the list just goes on and on !!! Well...I guess thats the mystery of life and we are all part of that mystery !
