Yes , I had lost this thought .. but like all thoughts this one too came floating back to me and I had to put it down here ... What is growth ?? Why are we all running after growth .. definitely for some it means a better salary and pay package ... what about the rest who dont really care abt the money ?
Well .. heres my thought .... all human beings think of :whats the purpose of my life " ? "why am I here .."? .. and ofcourse they never got the answer to these questions so easily ... so the human kind created their own answers ... you need to be remembered by you achievements ... u need to be better than others at things ... you see, the society forces you to become someone important .. who is remembered... the society wants you to perform .. the peer pressure and competition ....what if I dont care ... I am happy with what I am ... I have a comfortable life ... dont need anything more .. the ego massage ... the pride ... nothing... just want peace of mind ... but th society doesnt allow that ... you are constantly being compared and rated ... hence you have a purpose in life ... to achieve a certain list of things , which will entitle you to the title "successful " ....
Humans feel insecured ... wen they do not know the answer to some question ... so we created our answer to the qustions ... the purpose of our life is to be successful ... we created the hirarchy .. the career path and the promotion s ... do we really need any of this ?
think for your self ... dont let the social system make you choices and take your decisions...

late realisation honey...
what next?
and not all have the time or opportunity to think about such philosophical questions. what about those who have to work just to exist?
not a late realization ... good nuff to realise it when u dont need to work " just to exist" ... also .. after a stage you dont need to keep growing and earing more \ .. though its relative ... depends on what u look at the human wants .. necessity - comfort and luxury.
Nice post with very valid thoughts. Individual thinking is so important, but often gets lost under social pressures.
BTW, liked your hathekhodi post also.
@sucharita - Thank you .. :)
One wonders how far the created answers can go...
Not too far I am sure ... the saddest part is .. some ppl go through life without even realising this ...
