Rat race

Since childhood, we have been taught on "how" to make a living, "how" to attain a better life and "how" to surround ourselves with luxuries items in our future life.

But very intrigued, once having solved this question, we are left with another bigger question. Why run this rat race? What's the point in doing these?

Imagine, having just bombarded with headache workload at office and now you are trapped at the frustrated traffic jam at the middle of the city. Is it worth spending time now searching for these questions? Most of us choose to ignore such questions. However it is like trying to ignore a pebble in our shoe, we can still continue walking but the journey will be an unhappy one. May be it is wise to stop the journey for a while and get rid of the pebble before start continuing our life journey again.

Satisfying life, is it real and achievable? How can we find real peace of mind? How can we putting ourselves in the right balance between the materialise and spiritualism.

The quest for answers is the starting point preventing us from again and again take ignorance of the little pebble in our shoe. It is very true as Jesus said at John 8:32 " and You will know the truth and the truth will set You free."
