People talk about a purpose
A mission for each one on earth
A path that if you choose to walk it
Was pre-determined before your birth
A mission testing your every being
Mostly based on facing fear
And if you opt to walk away
Repeated chances will appear
With every challenge that awaits us
Comes a lesson to help us grow
Walk away or accept your fate
Your higher purpose is there to know
And as I walk a path that's hurt me
And sometimes cut me up inside
I won't back off from what life throws me
I'll hold on tight and enjoy the ride.

Hi. Yea so many talk about a purpose. But what's that? Is there any? No one's sure. We just hear such things from movies or superstitious people I guess. The mission is being itself. Being - existence... If this path is predetermined then I have no choice and I cannot help change my fate, right? Chance? Is not lucky every being on this planet... With every challenge we face come a lesson. It is our doom. Being miserable. The lesson teaches us to bear life though it is not satisfactory. Why should I tolerate this life which I was forced to come. I did not choose to be born, and yet I was born. And now I have to bear this misery of BEINNG! To tolerate this life one should be flexible. Sometimes you have to back off. It is not optional. I din't mean to attack or censure your writing. It is what I generally think about life. I'd be glad to know your ideas about my works. Have a good time..
