I think deep down in all of us, we feel seriously flawed in one way or the other. Like a defective product, we don’t know if we were born that way or it was something that was just deposited and grew as we grew up. If you’re being honest, you’ve probably realized this and noticed that no matter what you do, it doesn’t seem to go away. This flaw seems to draw certain mistakes out of you and it feels like a pile of unpaid debt keeps accumulating. One that you don’t know exactly how to pay, but believe can be paid nonetheless.

We are all born for a purpose and while we may waste time on irrelevant things, our purpose doesn’t just vanish. It waits behind the scenes, and every once in a while we get clues to them. Once you step into your purpose, you immediately activate something divine about your life because the origin of all human purpose is God.
Constantly meeting obstacles or facing challenges when trying to achieve something can be a drain on morale. It can cause sleepless nights and excessive stress. If you’ve ever dealt with serial disappointments, then you know the associated tears can be a serious drain on your energy, and even though you may want to move on, sometimes the helplessness is paralyzing. How about when you have labored so hard and put in a lot of sweat only to be told NO in the end?
Everybody wants what they want and nobody sacrifices for the other. Therefore, placing trust in people and expecting them to be absolutely moral and selfless in their decisions with regards to others, is a difficult and untenable road. This is more so in the case of democracy where representation is prevalent. In the case of communism, I imagine everybody would have to genuinely care about everyone else which is almost impractical given human nature.
In the great show of life, we are each puppets among a larger group of other puppets and just as described earlier, we each have a purpose whether we accept it or not. To take it further, each purpose is uniquely puppet-specific. The analogy follows then that there should exist a master in the background who plays the role of the controller. But there is a catch, an important one at that, and it’s this.
Whether you are into business, science, entertainment, arts, raising kids, education, government or any sphere of life, organizing your life by this idea can bring you to a place of permanent peace and prosperity.
This idea is straight-forward but not always easy to come by or accept. It can be said that humans are like puppets who depend almost entirely on the puppeteer. If that is the case, what happens when we decide against the master?
Life can be very difficult to navigate as puppets without a master. Ever so often we find ourselves languishing for lack of direction. Eventually, almost instinctively, we look up. We always look up and then ask: “why me?” Ever wondered why that is?
