"One of the greatest shortcoming of modern society is the lack of a sense of purpose. What do human beings live for - or rather, what do we live for? For example, in our daily lives, if we know our destination, we can go and ask for directions at the nearest police box. But if we don't know the name of our direction and ask the police officer, "Where should I go?" we'll be laughed at. Therefore, in the journey of life, it is strange and incomprehensible that people are living without purpose. It is here indeed that we find the root cause of the confusion and malaise confounding society." -- Josei Toda, Soka Gakkai 2nd president How true.
How many of us actually have a direction in life?
One with a deep sense of purpose.
One which we clearly know where we want to go or what we want to do.
Think about it.
What you're studying now, is it what you want to do in the future?
If not, then why are you still studying/taking up the course?
Because you don't know what you want to do?
Because you don't know where to go?
Because you want to enjoy life?
If you're doing so,Aren't you wasting time?
Aren't you wasting money, espically your parents'?
Think about it.(",)

Thank you for your blog and your sincerity! The SGI is the best place to find and develop a purpose in life -- to struggle and work for your own happiness and that of others. My worse day of being a Buddhist is better than my best non-Buddhist day.
