A Requirement to Life

Mikhail. Pagudpud Beach. 04Jan2009

The most sought after stuff in the world is "meaning." It happens to be a requirement to life. I know that many will disagree with what I've just declared, but I'm pretty sure it is. Some says it is success, but I think it's more on to the significance every one tries to make for their approval and acceptability.

Let's face it, during Adam's (the first man) time, he was lonesome that God provided him with someone to give him company. But after sinning, he felt alone not having God. Unfortunately his loneliness was passed on to Cain. Cain, more than proud and jealous, he wanted more approval from God.

The modern day people are lonely. They's given up the sense of community with impersonal condominium units that alienate them from one another. Their activities that are supposedly shared with personal touch like in festivals are now changed into the impersonal country clubbing.

Spirituality is even based on materialism these days. Having a Mac is more of a lifestyle and a living rather than an innovation of computers. In the Philippines, you would either be "Kapamilya" or "Kapuso" depending on which television network you support and watch. Also in the Philippines, you either chose to become "Smart" or "Globe" depending on your phone service provider.

Yes, people are lonely that they unknowingly have one requirement to life -- SIGNIFICANCE. But how are you significantly living your life?
