Every individual has different answers for this as we have different cultures define different purposes of life. So, To know what we are looking for in life. We should know, what is life? Life is a journey that starts at the stage of birth and ends at the destination called Death on which we have no absolute control over or in other words it’s the way we live. A flow of living planned to happen in our own hands but not what to happen exactly. In simple terms, life is unpredictable where we can wish for a miracle to happen but we won’t be the magicians to make the magic. And also as per Mahabharata, it’s already decided about our life which is called ‘karma’.Karma is the life cycle of a person’s actions at all the states of life including past and present.

History Records:

As per historical records, There were lots of definitions given by great people based on the beliefs and particle systems like mentioned below.

• As per philosopher Pluto, the meaning of life was learning knowledge.
• And his student Aristotle believed to be good is the meaning of life
• As per Cynicism , it’s to be self-sufficient.
• As per Hedonism, it’s to have pleasure.
• As per Epicurean is to free yourself from pain.
• As per Nihilist , life has no Meaning.
• As per Theist, life is about following god rules and following the gods path.
• As per Absurdism, we should stop making sense and live the life. And lastly,
• As per Confucianism is to live an ordinary life.

These are what they have been looking for in life as of the book records. In Actually, to know what we are looking for in life, we should be self acknowledged and self aware about our own selves. So, the person who we are depends upon the circumstances we grew, the way we were brought up,the way we taught about the life, the way of chemicals that works in our body and Brain, the emotions filled in our hearts. These are elements make us as  human and becomes part of living.

We human beings mainly conquer few things and feel that’s our purpose of living and all those finally results as:

• Knowledge –knowledge is divine and has the power to become self-sufficient to make a good living.
• Good Health condition – Being healthy and fit is most difficult nowadays due to change in lifestyle. So being healthy and not having any physical pain is considered as wealthy which is considered to be rich in essence.
• Success/money – We are taught about a life of being born , getting educated and then getting a job which is a source of money to make a proper living as well as, when you are passionately doing something to make a milestone itself is a success which ultimately gives money to live a happy life.
• Happiness/joy – Knowledge, money, fame. These all things give us happiness. At the end of the day, what you are feeling is important, which is the sense of happiness and joy dwelling in our heart that gives meaning to the Hard Work we have done in our whole life which most people for in life but doesn’t realise it so easily.
• Ture love (or)a person to their death too – As we are taught about living, it’s quite a bit difficult to live but which becomes funnily meaningful  when you have your soulmate beside you to witness everything which is called love, the essences of life. Most of the people are successful, happy and there is no one to share their happiness which makes their life meaningless. So most of the people in life look for a true love in other words soulmates.
• Peace – Peace of mind creates a sense of freedom and inner joy in your everyday life which is conquered by spiritual manifestation through a hard dedication to life to have control over living.

Hence, the answer for what are we looking for in life  lies within us about what are we really want in our life, how we want to look and how we want the society to look at us. The  journey of life is filled with ultimate joy, peace, love, pain , suffering and meaning. But  at the end we all look for happy and meaningful death in our lives.
