We are fragile creatures, and it is from this weakness, not despite it, that we discover the possibility of true joy. What is the Purpose of Life? The purpose of life is to find happiness. From the moment of birth, every human being wants to discover happiness and avoid suffering. No differences in our culture or our education or our religion affect this. From the very core of our being, we simply desire joy and contentment. The ultimate source of happiness is within us. Not money, not power, not status. Power and Money fail to bring inner peace. Outward attainment will not bring real inner joyfulness. We must look inside. We create most of our suffering, so it should be logical that we also have the ability to create more joy.
