WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?
THE ANSWER GIVEN BY WISE MONK WILL SURPRISE YOU
A man once asked a wise monk:
“Master… what is the purpose of life?
Why are we here if everything eventually disappears?”
The monk smiled gently and asked him,
“Have you ever watched a sunrise?”
“Yes,” the man replied.
“And does the sunrise stay forever?”
“No.”
“Then why do people still stop to admire it?”
The man became silent.
The monk continued softly:
“Life was never meant to last forever.
Its beauty comes from its impermanence.
The flower blooms… then falls.
The seasons arrive… then change.
People enter our lives… then leave.
And because of this, every moment becomes precious.”
The man lowered his eyes.
“But if everything ends… what is the point of loving, trying, or dreaming?”
The monk picked up a candle and lit it.
“This candle will not burn forever,” he said.
“But while it burns… it gives light.”
The man watched quietly.
The monk then said something he never forgot:
“The purpose of life is not to become immortal.
It is to learn how to truly live before you die.”
“To love deeply without attachment.
To grow through suffering instead of becoming bitter.
To help others where you can.
To understand yourself.
To find peace within your own mind.”
The man asked softly,
“And what happens when life becomes painful?”
The monk smiled gently.
“Pain is part of waking up.
Many people only begin searching for truth after suffering breaks their illusions.”
Then the monk pointed toward the sky and said:
“Birds do not spend their lives asking the meaning of the wind.
They simply learn how to fly through it.”
The man sat quietly as tears filled his eyes.
And the monk spoke one final time:
“The purpose of life is not to control everything.
It is to experience life fully with awareness, compassion, gratitude, and presence.
To love.
To learn.
To awaken.
And to leave this world a little kinder than you found it.”
✨🙌🏾💫

@reddy2go 12 hours. I misspoke anyway as I thought the day after was tomorrow.
May 26, 2026.
Which is fine because I have half a big bag of tobacco left.
Can't wait for the opportunists here whose habits I'm apparently the sole support of, tries to bum one.
"Discontinued item. Patch?"

sometimes i forget im in my mid forties and this is a legit reminder of reality even if doesn't appear so in my case
middle age is starting to feel like adolescence all over again; that liminal zone feels
not a child, not an adult; lost somewhere in between not knowing which way im going

@geomcloco @Eman_8282 they blamed the ozone hole on girl's hairspray but it was almost certainly some industrial thing

@reddy2go @Eman_8282 Pattern recognition segued to Longshot.
Not as fetish, but I do appreciate (and maybe romanticize a lil bit) the "imperfections" that tell stories of both the fragilitty and strength of our humanity, and a life lived. 🤷♂️

@geomcloco @Eman_8282 had a scar along my face from the edge of the pot that was on boil on the stove 😆
wish it hadn't disappeared, was sexy how it ran vertically across my eye, from forehead to cheek 🏴☠️

@reddy2go Infinichai, Mobius?
Better than circles, I suppose.
Although… π & chai does sound good rn.
Funny, not fond of Pumpkin Spice… Everything (due to oversaturation)
But the coffee creamer… I taste a shared pallette w/ chai. So if I ever make a pumpkin pie, adding black pepper.

@reddy2go EX-BFF used to sport one. Allergic to pretty much everything. I always thought scarves a cold weather thing due to the climate of my upbringing, turns out the right ones are all-weather and multipurpose. Like a big bandana.
I think you'd wear one well. (The U needs to behave)
