How are you burning up your life? aka The Human Life Cycle

When we were young, we were taught about butterfly life cycle, water cycle , and other relevant information about how life is preserved and transformed in this beautiful, dynamic blue globe called earth.

Have we ever thought much about the Human Life Cycle?

It starts out and ends like any other animal. 

The systems that are different is, we undergo schooling, graduate, get a job, work in a job or do our own things, procreate, raise kids for long time, get old, get a pension from government or companies we worked for, get old and die.

But within this life cycle, we make beautiful things, we build cities, we innovate, we create, we change the world, in leaps and bounds, progressively, make baby steps in self improvement, and our societies get richer, smarter, less poorer, develop better quality of life. 

Humans are such a small part of the eco system, but have much higher control over the globe, we do a lot of things different animals do, but we do them as humans - we can fly like birds with planes, we go on water with out boats, we can dig  and burrow earth with our earth moving equipments. We have evolved much over millennium, our societies have developed, waned and left destruction in their paths. We polluted, we cleaned up, we killed species, we protected them. As a society we wax and wane, right now it is waxing…

Now, what are you doing in your life span? How are you burning up your life?

What is your larger goal? Exist? Just live? Make a lot of money, and pursue a single minded goal of money making? For what?

What gives you pleasure? What gives you hope? Why are you motivated to exist?

These are questions we need to ask ourselves and find answers for. This would make us do big things, we need to think big, and do big. Don’t think small and do small. We are great creatures and have one chance at this life. We have formed by chance, and endured and grown up to this point without perishing, yes, we do perish at the end, but what are we going to do the rest of our lives? Let me know your thoughts.
