Purpose of life - Wondered about it many times.
I don't think I arrived at a conclusion on what could be the purpose of my life.
I don't know if anyone can understand very well on what does their soul want.
It isn't probably easy to think on that level - at least for me - to think on what would feed someone's soul, what would make the soul inside us content. Unless there is a general sense of security with the life , it is really hard to think about such things. We are always worried about the security in any kind of sense, whether it is emotional, financial , personal etc. Even to achieve success , to be able to go after things we always wanted to , a sense of stability and security in personal life is so very needed.

I was in one of the conferences few months ago when someone asked a CEO of a business unit about secret behind his success. He was saying that he is not afraid of failure. He has financial stability - so he doesn't really have to worry on taking risks, he has peace at home as he has a wonderful wife who takes care of house and children very well that he doesn't have to worry about them. I was thinking that it is so important after a certain stage in life to have some balance in personal life. 

When did you graduate

If asking age is considered not polite, how is asking "when did you graduate" , a polite question. Yes, it does sound polite but the underlying intention of asking the question is always to assess the age. Yeah right, I really think you are so interested in knowing when I graduated. Stop being nosy !! Huh!!

Some people have a strange way of asking, when did you "pass out" - well., do you know the meaning of "pass out". It really doesn't sound well here, at least in the US. Please check the dictionary meaning for pass out.

Do I expect way too much for people to be refined? Or do I crib way too much sometimes.

Phew.

Live your life

Everyone likes to live their life the way they want. I wonder why some people think we are missing out on life. Is trying alcohol so important in life? Is having a boy friend so important in life?
I don't fully understand when people, sometimes some of my very good friends, advise me that I should try alcohol. I think their point is that I take life way too seriously and don't enjoy the life or live my life. I am not sure if I ever understand their point fully.
For now, I feel , I am living my life as I want and I don't really regret not trying alcohol as I don't want to and I am not interested.
