Once we are born into this world we are distracted by survival instincts and norms and requirements. We go to school for most of our lives (most people) probably from the age of 3 until about 30 years, in between which we work and probably have a family and continue to work to support that family until the children grow older and leave and set out to repeat the cycle.
There is more to live that this. Yes it is understood that in living such a life we gain knowledge and experience but the knowledge and experience a lot of persons are gaining is just to help them survive their day to day livelihoods.
We must stop and take the time to ponder about what life really is all about and your purpose in it. Hence reason the Bible says that even man at his best state is altogether vanity. It is human nature to want what is best for yourself and to figure things out for "yourself" and to become a better "self" and to gain things to improve yourself and your life. But after all of this is done, you are not yourself alone. You are deeply connected with every single life form and as such it could never end there. According to H.I.M Emperor Haile Selassie 1st of Ethiopia "It is both the duty of the educated few to fulfill the legitimate aspirations of the unfortunate many." Humanity depends on humans.
