Highlights of Various Junctures

I am actually going to defer this post from making actual progress in the point I am trying to prove, instead I want to highlight the key points that have been previously discussed. First off, know where I am coming from. Know that I am in the midst of my college education and that I have been raised to be and remain a faithful believer in Christ Jesus. Along with these things, take note as to the metaphor I have been using. The basketball player practices in order to obtain success in games he will later partake and participate in. In this same way, of what we do on a day to day basis, could foreshadow what we hope to do later in life. If one spends a majority of time studying academics, it is likely that he or she wants to be smart in a particular field, which is normally believed to lead to a high paying job, just providing financial success. In my postings, I have mentioned several times, "the purpose of life," or "the meaning of life." I pose the question, could the purpose of life be what we hope to derive from life? If so, then would this not mean that if we desire to obtain financial success later in life, that would make such success "the purpose of life?" Thus, the purpose of life would thereby be, in the years that I am in, to study, and study, and study. Though I disagree with this entire concept, I cannot deny its existence in our world, as it is a system of beliefs held dearly by many of our peers. These are the points I wanted to make sure you remembered before reading my next post. So, now you may continue on!
