THE GOAL OF LIFE


There is no right answer.  We all have this life and it is for ourselves that we have to make a reason to live.  We have to find a something in life that gives that urge to live another day.  That certain something that makes us want to live another day, is called happiness.  A certain sense of content.  We may endure all sorts of problems in our lives, however we have the experience of happiness and strive to achieve it.  There are some who are in such a miserable predicament who may have never ever had the opportunity to experience happiness and might even be suicidal.  It is for those that this thesis is prepared.

Many have contemplated on the passions of life as a goal of life.  Pure enjoyment of all the senses is my thesis.  That is why the Lord has given us the senses and delivered us with so much natural resources that can stimulate the senses.  From the cumin and coriander seeds to spice up the broccoli and cauliflower, to the grape and orange juices to quench the thirst, to the aromas of the sandalwood, to the sounds of the greatest voices recorded and delivered on the wireless network, beautiful gold and silver for our ornaments, we are truly blessed.

I make the grand assumption that there is indeed, more than enough resources in this planet to supply generations to come.  I believe if there were a little bit of cooperation, we could see everyone in this world satisfied.  The problem, I empathize, is a large one.  We have a large population with diverse cultures and language barriers that make our position urgent.  From observation, study and reflection, I feel that the leaders in this world would like to remedy the issues on the table for the better of future generations.

I believe we are in a position where we can negotiate a pragmatic solution that will benefit all parties involved.  The chinese have opened their doors to western liberal thought and the russians have also conceded.  The Indians have recently pleaded for foreign investment.  These are the major players on the board who are willing to play ball with western directorate.  The major problems left are the arabs, africans and south americans, for which I will try to elucidate a solution for.

The solution lay in a revolutionary change that will seem fair and beneficial to all parties involved.  The main goal for the american liberal philosophy is to open up markets and allow the invisible hand to control the fate of the innocent masses.  I will urge policy makers to think of the goals of our life.  We want happiness.  Do we not want to extend that happiness to our fellow brother and sister?

We are all born equal in the eyes of the Lord.  We are all equal in the American constitution.  How can we have social inequality when we have already claimed equality?  We all want happiness.  That is the goal.  Let us assume that as good is an inherent quality in our psyche; we would all like to spread the happiness we have with the greater community, regardless of creed or color, young and old, here and there.

If we all wish for a life of happiness and also the same for our neighbor, we unfortunately cannot have a free market economy.  My main aim of this thesis to provide argument for a global socialist society without the concept of money.  Targeted at western readership, I wish to show that the capitalist economy is detrimental to our collective goals of life.

The goal of our lives is happiness and while striving for this goal, we have to trade with our neighbors.  Some like myself, would like to live in hermitude, however are not willing to sacrifice the convenience of the marketplace.  We have been accustomed to a certain lifestyle and no matter how difficult social relations may be, hermitude without wifi, paypal, and couriers is extremely difficult.

conflict is inherent in social relations, one that is exacerbated by the concept of money.  I hate to be the one to point it out, however the difficulty induced by money is of misery.  Family and friends break apart due to the concept of money.  This is evident in all social classes, in all religions, in all geographical, political and economics situations, from junkee to president.

The russians, chinese and indians have all decided to concede the battle, and negotiate.  Let us assume the whole billion in India and the whole billion in China are available as a labor front line, with the russian conglomerate design think tank at disposal, .. plus the whole 20 trillion American economy  … and NATO partners’ economy and technology, what are we to do with all the resources and zero conflict?
