Hello my friends and welcome back to the English with Neil Learn English podcast.
How's everyone doing today?
We are back with another episode.
In this episode, we're going to go a little deep.
We're actually going to go very deep.
And we're going to talk about the purpose of life.
The purpose of life.
This thought, this idea of the purpose and meaning of life has been explored by many philosophers.
And many people have tried to answer the question, what is the purpose of life?
So on today's episode, I'm going to share an idea with you.
And I'm also going to share with you my idea of the purpose of life.
Now I ran across a video today of an artist that is no longer with us.
So rest in peace.
But he said the purpose of life is to create.
Now I want you to think about that.
The purpose of life is to create.
And I want to talk a little bit about what he said.
He said the purpose of life is to create, because ever since humans existed, we have always been creating.
And when you think about it, everything that you can see around you, someone created it.
Everything that you see around you, Everything that you can touch, Somebody created this thing And I thought you know what?
Maybe there is some truth to that.
Maybe one of the purposes of life is to create.
Because as humans, we are always creating something.
Even now.
Even now, somebody is creating something just like this podcast.
I'm creating this podcast.
So we are always in this continuous state of creating something.
So I think there is some truth to that idea of the purpose of life is to create.
I can agree with that.
But I also want to add on to that and tell you what I think another purpose of life is.
I think the other purpose of life is to share your gifts.
Now I'm not talking about a present.
I'm not talking about something that you buy for someone on their birthday.
I'm talking about the talents and Basically I guess you can call them the God-given talents that you have inside of you.
And we all have something inside of us that we're good at.
Some people... are really good at singing.
Some people are really good at drawing.
Some people are really good at dancing.
And I think the purpose, one of the purposes of those talents Is to share it.
I think if you're good at something.
That you should share it with the world.
I don't think that thing that you have is for you.
I think that thing that you're good at.
I think it's supposed to be shared with the world.
That's what I truly believe.
And I think if you're not sharing that thing, you are doing yourself and the world a disservice.
Everyone is good at something.
Everyone has something that they're good at.
And so I think if you have something that you're good at, you should share it.
I think that you should use that thing to help other people, or to entertain other people, or for other people to enjoy.
And likewise.
People have things that they're good at that we can enjoy.
We love listening to a good singer.
We love watching a good movie.
We love listening to good music.
Because that person, that artist, they're sharing their work for us to enjoy, and I think we should do the same.
So what do you think?
What do you think about the purpose of life?
What do you think the purpose of life is?
Let me know in the comments.
Let's talk about it.
All right, everyone.
That is it for today's episode.
Thank you for tuning in to the English with Neil podcast.
I look forward to speaking with you in the next one.
Take care, everyone, and talk to you soon.
Peace.
