The Ideal Life

So I've been engaging in a lot of nostalgia in the past few weeks, and it inevitably led me to that fundamental question...what is the meaning of life? Everything in my life had changed from year to year, or within a span of few years. There were good times and there were even better times, and the worst of times seemed to last twice as long. Ultimately though, what is the purpose of all this? I study, I try to work hard, engage in activities instead of wasting away in my room, try to improve myself in confidence and grace....to what purpose?

Well, as I was trying to avoid finishing practical 1 of my medical biochemistry reports, I realized that the answer can be found in the life of Jesus. He was undoubtedly, the single most influential person that ever lived and died. His life, albeit being half of today's normal life span, embodied everything that was good and worthy. He was pure, he was dynamic, he was beautiful. And that's how I want my life to be. That is what I strive for. Whatever he did, and the principles hedisplayed in his life....that was how life was meant to be lived. God created the earth and man, he gave us a user's manual (the bible), and because we're so incredibly dense, he also sent us a living example to drive the point home. How can we not get it yet? Jesus lived the ultimate life, and he is supposed to be our ultimate example of how we should live ideally: by serving, by loving, by shining, by sharing, by humbling ourselves, and many many more.
