Why We Exist
I am here for one and only one reason. I am here to make your life easier. That is it. That is all.
The measure of a man is not what he does for himself but what he does for others. If you think you are here to earn heaven you will never earn it. Heaven is a selfish goal for frightened, selfish people. Heaven, like immortality, is a myth. It is ultimately the most selfish reason to live.
Once you realize you are not here for yourself, you are free to live the life that was your destiny all along. But it is not possible to live a selfless existence without surrendering immortality.
So I beg you. Strive not for wealth or fame or heaven. Strive only for peace and kindness.
For you can only save yourself by saving others.
