Our Purpose In Life

Too often we identify ourselves by what we do rather than by what we are. How can we know what we are? By looking at what we do during our nonworking hours, when we are not engaged in the means for survival. It might be shocking to discover our ultimate purpose in life is to lose ourselves in some diversion. Rest and relaxation are as vital to life as food and water, but after all vital necessities have been met, there should be something for which we live. If we do not have an ultimate goal, we should be occupied in looking for one.
