purpose in life

"what is your purpose in life?"

the question struck me more often than i can remember. my dear wife also ask me the same question undirectly, when she asked me "what's your future plan?" prior to our marriage. i remember a person said that when he discovered his life plan. he wanted to be a doctor, but what he really wanted, was to help others. so he became a volunteer in several organization. he was there when the tsunami strikes aceh, he was in borneo, teaching tribesmen to learn to cultivate their food.

so i reflected in mine. what i really want? i wish i could be a teacher. but very often those calling are meant, that i wanted to share what i know, empowering people through their knowledge, and with the power at their own hand, they be able to liberate themselves...

so much abstract pictures in my mind, and may i describe them vary among times. but the pictures stand still..
