We live so that we can help our brothers & sisters

What is purpose for you? What is your reason for studying, or for simply being alive? If you’re also studying stuff in I.T. (Information Technology) what do you believe is the purpose of implementing I.T.?

In a broad way, personally I do believe that our loving and merciful God put us human beings here on Earth to help one another, as brothers and sisters. I also think we are pilgrims, travelers, and this Earth is not our true homeland — heaven is — God’s kingdom. Sure, we may have a few differences here and there. But choose to look beyond that, and you’ll see our similarities to each other. That we all want what is good for ourselves, for our families, and maybe even for our communities. And that’s a good thing. That is a start. For cooperation. For unity. Having a common goal. And finding common ground that fuels our undertakings. Our reason, our “why” for why we do what we do. Our purpose.

Almost any worthwhile human pursuit aims to make the lives of other people easier, or better in some way or ways. Healthcare, medicine, construction, education, food, and all other industries. We strive to help others. And this is also one reason behind my thinking that we are put here to help each other.

Personally, if you’re searching for your own purpose. Remain grounded on what it is you find to be fulfilling: a domain that’s good and helpful to others, and similarly a domain that you see yourself doing for the long-run, if not as a career, but your life’s mission. Find that place of intersect between what you love doing, what you’re reasonably good at, and with something that helps do something good in our world.

Additionally, I’ll need to also try and speak of this — but don’t choose a field, or a line of work solely because of the potential of you earning well from it. No. Don’t do things because of money. It may make you happy for a short while. But, it will quickly become your own bane. Earning money eventually follows if we follow our purpose in life. One that enables and helps other people.

Seek to nurture good and genuine relationships as you go along with life. Work toward a meaningful purpose, with good ties and connection with a community of shared good values and hopes and this will lead you toward happiness.

Friends, let us work towards being of good service to others. While following what our calling is.

Peace, my friends. That’s it for now.

Salamat po!
