Purpose.
I came to this conclusion that most people chase after nonsense. The most average person is Uzbekistan, for example, dreams about getting a house (most of the time a house with some garden or land), a nice car and hold an amazing memorable wedding party for their child/children. And they spend their entire life chasing after these three things.
Now, I absolutely don't mean this is nonsense. I completely understand that it's actually good for people to set goals like these and dream about providing a better quality life for themselves and their families. But... There's always one but...
But if you consider the full lifetime of a human, that just feels like it's not enough to only chase after these things, because... Okay. Let's try to imagine. Let's say, you did get all of these things. You drive an above-average car and live in a pretty big nice house. You got what 90-95% of people bet on their lifetime. Do you think you would be happy? 🤔 I personally wouldn't.
I think people are not chasing after a purpose. People are chasing after an existence. But that's not their fault at all (whose fault is it? That's another big topic for another post). For that reason, to exist, you need money, but to live, you need purpose.
Why Elon Musk, for example, is continuing to push further, creating new companies and working on new bigger projects? He already is the richest man on the planet. He can just stop working and enjoy the rest of his life. Why does he still work? Well, because he has a purpose, which is not money. So, again, you need money to exist. But to live, you need purpose.
And finding purpose is the hardest thing in life.
But I believe only very few people in the world will ever manage to find their purpose in life. Why? Cuz if you find your purpose, you will work non-stop on it and may eventually get rich (although it might not be your goal). But of course, not everyone can actually get rich. Otherwise, the society would collapse.
So, maybe God is very intentional with giving the vision and the purpose to only few selected ones. Maybe he doesn't want the society to collapse, and because of that, lets most people be okay with being an average person. Maybe he knows that giving everyone the true passion to find purpose would not be good for the everyone. And maybe he does all of this intentionally to keep the world spinning.
