Aimlessness is such a powerful concept. It is present in almost everything you do. It is not an ingredient, not a feeling but the destination. It is a destination in whose direction you are moving. It is your aim to become aimless because only then will you feel free of everything, even of your own desires. When you will reach a stage in your life when you do not have anything that you would want then you are aimless and only then can you feel eternal bliss. Money, power, fame, luxury won’t bring you that. They can only help you realize, if you get them, that those are the things you didn’t want. Most of your life you will keep on believing that they are what you want and even if told otherwise, you belief in them would be too strong to waver you from thinking otherwise. It is only self-realization that can trigger that emotion in your head that can incept this in your mind. However, it is not totally without hope. A carefully driven argument can convince you of this, but very few people are capable of having that.
Once in that state, you will feel satisfied and content with your life, not only of the past but also of the future. You would have done/had everything that you could possibly desire and nothing, absolutely nothing would be able to disturb that. This is almost impossible because no one can be so disconnected from anyone else to not be affected by anything/anyone else. Someone or something can make you desire at any point of time. Humans are naturally incapable of feeling isolated and self-content. Hence, death of family members or friends or heavy economic loss can severely damage your so-called aimlessness. The feeling or state of eternal bliss has to be independent of everything, except for your own death, which should also happen peacefully in your perspective. It is hard to say if anyone ever has ever been there. However, that need not stop anyone from trying to get there.
A classic example of a typical mentality would be an educated person, trying to look for promotions or better salary through his hard work. To him, doing good work at office, keeping your family members happy, save for the future, travelling to different places are example of things that make him happy. However, are these desires mathematically finite? If someone attaches his longing for happiness to such things or events, is it ever possible to be happy for that person? He will always live in a slight state of despair or fear that his happiness is too short-lived and he must look for more adventures for him or find new gifts for his wife or look for higher salary to save more for the future. However, he will never be happy from inside. Some people associate this kind of life with being happy on-the-go i.e. the person enjoys in the moment and not in a state. That is accepted by a lot of people as an alternate form of joy and happiness. However, it is short-lived and sometimes simultaneously plagued by the fear of that moment passing away. And for those who say that they do not fear or desire for that moment not passing away and are happy with small bursts of happiness in their lives, they are simply not accepting that they just replace their fear with an optimistic hope that they will find those happy moments. But, what if you are capable of finding that long-lasting state of happiness where no one would be able to hurt you or take you out of it and you are done with everything? Wouldn’t that be SOMETHING?
It is a bit technical and completely theoretical. However, it sometimes takes a lot of time to realize that the hypothesis that you proposed out of intuition and out or natural symmetry or because of probability is actually true. Sometimes it is right there in front of you but you are just not looking straight. It should not be tough to accept it, but very difficult to find it. I am not proposing how to find that bliss, that sense of aimlessness, but I am sure it exists and I am sure that someone will find it. Perhapes that is the purpose of life.
