Anthropology Reflection (1)

Every living creatures has specific role to perform. Some of the plants have to reproduce oxygen and some animals help to transfer the pollen from one place to another etc,. They live and fulfil their tasks in a certain period of time. Most of them are actually bound to their environment. They do not do beyond and perform anything from their environment. Human are unique creature. They have ability to adapt in environment and also have ability to create new environment. Human being has difficulty in finding their exact role in this finite world. They are busy looking what ought to be done. They do not find any satisfaction doing things in this world. Although they have been in many places, they still could not find a good reason or purpose to perform it. Thus they came to expect things from beyond their imagination and this world.

All my life I have been searching the purpose of my life and things that I should achieve also. I have searched for wealth, position, status and many other things. Although I got them to certain level, I still want to achieve more and more. First I though when I get those thing will be satisfy but it did not work out that way. My search has continued again. I felt tired chasing after those things again and again.

Our hearts are restless until they find rest in thee, O God.
St. Augustine
After I read this, I have came to conclude that God is the one who I need most. He is only source that can give satisfaction to me. The meaning of live can be found only in God. They joy of the living can find only in God.
