Where are we heading?????

Are you the kind of person who moves fast? Do you pursue things with much zeal and impatience?
Moving fast is great, if you are heading the right way. But if you are going the wrong way, you are getting lost fast!
Have you ever asked yourself where exactly are you headed? What is your final destination?
Most of us are caught in the frenzy of pursuing things of this world. We never run out of things to pursue, whether in our careers, businesses or personal lives. We are always on the move trying to get things. We are a society of Go-getters!
But do we actually need the things we are trying to grab? Are the things we are pursuing would make us happy in the end?
Or are we just pursuing them because the media and advertising told us so?
Most of us seldom think about the things we are pursuing. Most of us seldom think who we are as humans. And most of us seldom think what life is all about. Pilling up the things of this world does not guarantee fulfillment. It is like having a great mansion and being all alone in it. Its enormity only makes you realize how alone and lonely you are!
We must first know who we are as humans before we start running after things. To know who you are is to know what will make you really happy. To fail to realize this is to waste your time and energy pursuing empty things. What a waste of life!
So who are we?
We are made in the image and likeness of God. And St John said, “God is love.” So we are beings that are made for love. Love created us, Love sustains us and Love is our end.
Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. – John Paul II
Only love can truly make us happy.
If love is not the end of our pursuit, then we are like travelers who traveled the whole world but failed to find a home.
So look at yourself now. After all the pursuit, are you happy?
Or just plain tired?
