Do you ever feel like you have no purpose in life?

I mostly do. I really don’t knowwhat I really want. I feel like I’m left out. I’m now old but still didn’t reach anything. I’m lost and alone. And I don’t have the courage and will to do anything to get out from this situation or feeling. I don’t know what’s wrong with me? I don’t know why or how I end up like this. I just want to evaporate.

Surely seeking to understand [i]ourselves[/i], our "self", should be at least one aspect of this? Seeking a purpose without any understanding of the one who seeks leaves us suspended in mid-air, grasping air, telling ourselves it is what we want!

Being lost is in this context (i.e. of not really knowing who we are) is a good place to start. And paradoxically, it may be that finally having no "purpose" or "meaning" - predefined, or as some sort of target - is more life-giving to our true selves!
