Just as I was pondering about issues of life, on finding a befitting end which I'd, to borrow bella's description, 'imagine' of, I came across this word "果てなき" which together with another few words, forms the title of a song. How ironical.
We do so much in life, from schooling and learning, to finding great jobs to ensure a stable and fulfilling life. And then when we think logically, where's the end to this? At every stage in life, we are simply fulfilling the means to an end. The means being the process of studying, searching for a job etc. And yet, when we do get it, that illusory end we were striving for, that is great results or a great job, we start repeat everything again, this end now becomes the new means to another greater end.
What's this 'end' that we are looking for? Family? Wealth? Status? These examples would once more become means to another end again. It's not a matter of being greedy or demanding. It's a matter of finding what it is that one should be looking forward to in life. And not some artificial end which is easily cast aside.
