Once in a while I am thinking about what is the purpose of my being? Probably quite natural thing for a young person to think about :)
Sometimes I find some rationale, that gives me the direction, and I am getting settled in my thoughts; sometimes "the quest for truth" goes on for longer, when I am not satisfied with my own answers, with my old answers, with thoughts of others; but then times passes by, and I am forgetting the question of the purpose getting busy - as I just live.
Well, now I have found one theory that it seems has concentrated many of my thoughts and will keep me satisfied for longer time :)
Reading a book that a friend gave me, you know, one of those "pocket books" of modern authors about anything (that one a funny novel was on traveling through time to change your karma), I found something interesting, a great tale :)
There was a witch repairing people's karma. She was responsible for that because a life of every person is a link in a big chain, and there are many of those chains of lives in time, each leading to some important, and all of them leading to something good at the end of times. And every person - every link - can be good (happy life) or bad (unhappy life). All Good powers make lives of people happy, all Bad powers make them unhappy. Because when all people are happy - when all links in all chains are good - then this Big Good that we hope for, will happen.
I love this theory!!! So you see, the best you can do in life, and the meaning of it - be happy, because your happiness is a good power that keeps you in balance with the world (with nature, It, good and other meanings according to different philosophers)
Be happy - remember, how it feels? Then the world seems full and bright, and there is no question why is it so, you just live to the fullest and feel everything so intense and happy with you! And then many more people around can contract your happiness, your energy for life!!! As they say, only when you are happy, can you make others truly happy as well.
That idea falls so well now with my feeling of life!..
We are to be happy!
We are to find the balance when our abilities and aspirations come together, when love and belonging to something right, and many other things form our feeling of happiness.
You'd ask, how then it helps others, what is our contribution?
I think the answer is when you feel that you are happy, that you live your life right - then the world around seems to build better around you as well. Your good energy and attitude are transitioned, you do better things, help others or create something you like - and then it's the effect of domino! It's like links in the chain :)
Be happy, and make other people happy around us.
Pretty simple, but worth trying and living it :)

I like it. I reckon you should try and do good things each day, they don't have to be huge (although people who do sacrifice a lot should be recognised) just so long as they're good.
hope you're keeping well.
interesting thoughts. you're more than welcome in Australia (especially Melbourne) whenever you like, just drop me a line and if I'm in the country, I'm happy to help out a fellow country-woman.
I'm from the Soviet-era Belarussian migrants so I don't have any knowledge of Belarussian... only Russian. The keyboard stickers are a good idea, I might do that one of these days when I have some time.
If you do come to Australia, I only have one small request. I'll pay top dollar for anything by Dostoyevsky, Bulgakov, Czechov, or the early Nabokov stuff... it's so difficult to buy untranslated Russian literature here...
