Everyone on this planet wants to do something meaningful in life. But what is meaningful? The answer, in most cases is to find something you're passionate about and make it your "meaningful". But real life experience suggests that finding your passion is the hardest thing to do. People change job after job, interest after interest but they don't find their passion. So, how is a large community of people functioning if it's not able to find its passion and is still appearing to do something meaningful? How are some people troubled because they're not happy about not finding their passion and at the same time some people are extremely happy (on the surface at least)? Is being better at faking your own mental status, the answer? Or after a certain point in time, people really stop thinking about "meaningful".
It is a scientifically proven fact that your level of enthusiasm gets lower and lower with age. The enthusiasm that you had in college is not the same now when you're working to earn your living. Some might argue that it takes a different form with time but being at a stage where you have to provide for your family, really kills your will to do the meaningful, unless of course, you've found your passion.
And let's say that you do find your “passion”, but for how long can someone go on repeating the same thing, doing the same job again and again? That means you'll be forced to find some other “passion” all over again. Isn't it a bit paradoxical?
What do you think?
