The penultimate aim

Welcome to this earth. May GOD bless you. You are so cute. May you become famous....
These are some of the words we hear when a baby is born. These are the words that are blessings from others to the baby to live and survive in this beautiful world.

The day when that baby gets concious about the world, starts feeling of how to become rich , how to rise high with respect to both in status and life. We get these feelings when we see others performing the same. I agree that altough these are materialistics and we all need those to survive. But is that the penultimate aim in our life? Do we really want these things? If you ask from your inner self, you feel that you are confused. Do we all wanted to die after making money and living lavishingly? But we have to die. So I will place the death cycle at the ULTIMATE aim in life, as we all know that we WILL die one day. Since the word WILL is used, its better we use it like our aim , and thus the ULTIMATE aim.

But what should be our aim just before we leave this world. So let's place that goal in the PENULTIMATE aim in our life.
When we become materialistic, we only consider "me" word. Once we achieve the aim of getting a good job, respect and recognition, we still feel something is missing in life. Your subconcious mind is still not happy with the achievements.
Why you are feeling so? Well, I am not a saint or philosopher, so my logic may be unsatisfactory. For me the human body is made up of five elements.So that's a common constituton in all of us. The feelings are same when we hate, love and respect others. So, I feel there is only one thing that can satisfy us, and we all can keep that thing in our PENULTIMATE aim (last but one).
And that is to help human beings. The route to achieve this may be many, but the choice is completely yours.
If you wanted to die after making money, or having loving wife/husband , or serving your children or performing your materialistic goals, then you can always do it. But when you reach your ULTIMATE goal, just ask urself in a microsecond before that ULTIMATE aim is executed. You will feel that you lived for nothing.
People will forget you within a month. But you had lived longer than one month on this earth. So why is that the value of your life is only one month with respect to the rememberance and not more . Why is it not inevitable.
It's because you had never tried to do what your real inner self told . You had spent life in lust, position and competition.
Thus for me life is an opportunity to achieve our PENULTIMATE AIM.
