I once read a book. Shocking, I know. I can’t remember the title now but it was one on computing; specifically bits of information. According to the book, all living organisms have one simple purpose—to ensure the survival of its species. I don’t agree with all the points made in the book, but this one does seem to have some credibility. If you think about it, any species that does not have survival as its primary goal is unlikely to be here today. The species would had become extinct fairly quickly.

If that is true, we do have a lot of spare time on our hand. The way I see it, once the primary purpose of life is fulfilled, either directly or indirectly, what you do with the rest of the time is unimportant. As long as you don’t do anything to jeopardise the survival of the species, enjoy life.

Now, take a moment and ask yourself this. Are you happy? If not, why not? And what are you doing about it?
