The cry of a new born signifies the beginning of that life. Going for a night walk and passing through Federal Medical Center Umuahia, I can not help it but think, of what significance do humans have on earth? Why give birth when we will all end up dead sooner or later?

Energy is burnt during coitus, just to provide enough mobility for sperm cells to reach the ovum. A loud cry from the foetus and mother due to pain, signifies the birth of a young one.

Stress, sickness, hardship, desperation, and depression hits when growing up. The world is a literal pain. Suffer and struggle to get all these possession only to end up six feet down or have your ashes scattered in a river. What's the point of life?

We live like livestocks, people without purpose, or so I think. What's our purpose? Except intelligence, what's the difference between we, humans and animals?

In a world filled of wickedness, where people deceive other people, just to get the content of the other person's pocket, I know not where to go. The kind gets used, the the caring gets heart broken. Show them you care and they use every inch of your bones.

Earpods inserted in my left ear, Nike face cap seating on my head, I stepped out in the drizzling rain to go for a walk while the gentle rain drops seat peacefully on my skin. Enjoying each drop that touches my skin, I began to walk at a slow pace, as if I was counting my steps while listening to this soft music. From a distance, I head four guys under the same rain, singing out loud - "today today, tomorrow no more, if I suffer today I will suffer no more," and I can't help it but think. Under this rain I'm enjoying?

Due their lack of understanding of suffering, due to the fact that they are not intelligent, animals tend to lie much happier and better than we, humans, even though they hunt each other for food. Directly and indirectly, we humans equally hunt each other for food too.

I used to think that life is about making money. Get the big bag, be kind to other people, make them happy, give my mom the best life she ever imagined and do many things that involves money, but then, now that I think of it, isn't money overrated? What if the value we put in money is changed and placed in the amount of none sexual relationship you have with other people? The amount of people you are kind to and you make happy on a daily basis? Wouldn't that give the use a better purpose? I guess, but then, most people may not value it. Probably.

Personally, I believe that there is a deeper meaning to life. Not just the money, the fame and the name, but there is something deeper which is not yet clear. We have a purpose, maybe we are all test subjects doing a test and we call it life, maybe we are entertainments for higher entities to watch from an unknown place, maybe we are all livestocks that are harvested when we die, or who knows? We may be the master of the universe but don't know about that yet.

In everything, until I realize my purpose, I will live life, achieve my goals, be the light for other people, and also, make sure I use every single minute I have on earth to the best.
