What Do You Live For?

Rambo puts it well. The thing is that we all die at the end. It is not pleasant fact but it is true for every one of us. So, the question to be asked is "What do you live for?"

It seems paradoxical that if you really want to live, you need to be ready to die. In other words, if your focus is survival, probably you cannot really live. You need to trade your life with what you really want to do.

It's OK in a movie but what about our real life? Do we need to die for something? The answer is "no" in a literal sense, but "yes" psychologically. Most of us are living in a world where we can still survive physically whatever you do.

One of the barriers is conformity.  We want to live like others do. It is comfortable to do so. There is much less risk in that way. It is what your parents and teachers teach you.

The opposite way of living is to be a rebel. It is a tough way. Everybody else around you opposes you. You are alone. Then, who wants to be a rebel?

---

Not many. But still exist. People who have something in them have to be rebellious. Not because they want to be rebels but naturally they become rebels. They have to because they have something in them. It only happens something is bigger than hardship they may get.

So, do you want to live for nothing? Or, do you want to die for something? It's a choice we all must make at some point in our lives.
