What do we live for?

Hello Travellers!

Today, while I was riding in the back of a car, I wondered about the existence of mankind. My existence.
It was a random thought. I wondered if the people around me in their cars knew what they were living for.

What do we live for?

The average human life span is very short and if compared to the age of our planet Earth, we are teeny weeny specks that simply exist. Why do we do the things we do?

Take politics for example. What is the purpose of bickering with each other to win the most votes?
Wealth and power is great. But why is it necessary for contentment?

Take war for example. Who invented this distasteful idea? We were all born equally, anyway, with nothing on our skins to mark one against each other. Colour? The world would be dull without colour. Why can we not live in peace within the few years we are given to live by?

Take time for example. Measuring time is great but if we hadn't had 24 hours a day to fill up with useless activity, perhaps we could appreciate life better. Look around you. People exist. Nature exist. The world with its multi colour coat exists. Love exists. Yet, we tire ourselves worrying about money, success and our image in the sight of others.

Where is the kindness we are born with?
Where is the love tattooed in our skins when we came?
Where is the peace that once ruled the Earth?
We hear about peace and the lack thereof every day. But why doesn't anyone do anything about it?
Stop the fighting, stop the war, stop the bloodshed and the doors that open to nothingness.
Do we not see how meaningless life is when all we do is try to find ways to destroy our planet and all that is in it?
