Is there really a life?

Why do we need to study? – To earn us a place in the working industry.
Why do we need to work? – So that we’ll get paid handsomely.
Why do we need money? – So that we can survive this life
Why do we need to survive this life? …

Some people may answer ‘because God gave us life’. But many didn’t have to answer to this question.

If studying up to degree level can ‘book’ us a good position in the working world, why are there so many unemployed graduates? And in many cases, Masters Graduates had to lie in their resumes that they only had a degree in hand, simply because ‘their qualification is too high for the position’. So is it true that the higher your education level, the better job you’ll get?

And who said that we’ll get paid handsomely if we work smart and hard enough? Everything seemed to have an increase in price, except for salaries. This issue had been brought up many times, especially when times are hard to maintain. Are we really getting what we are worth?

No money no talk. True enough, without money, we are unlikely to survive well in this world. But what’s really the true meaning of survival? Sitting there, reading the newspaper, knowing how some countries are badly hit by disasters, how the society had changed for the worse… Is this what we are living for? Is this the reason why we want to survive this life? To see all sorts of negativity happening every day?
Do we want to live this life just because we are given life, or is there more to it? What’s the purpose of life? It’s something I’m always in search for the answer. Perhaps, somebody can enlighten me?GOT IT!
