As we advance further and further in todays society the less meaning the average adult feels. One place meaning is found is duty. The more technologically advanced we become as a species the less weight we have on our shoulders to survive. Do you think our ancient ancestors were asking each other where they belong? Or, what is the meaning of our place in this world? If someone spends every hour of every day escaping predators, providing shelter and food for their family they can’t wrap their heads around the fact that there could be another meaning to life. Because to them there is no such thing, their priority was to keep themselves and their family alive. That was their duty. Nowadays the average human spends their days figuring out what shirt to wear or what movie to watch hence, our duty of survival has been taken out of most of our hands.

To find direction man needs to find duty, a sacrifice in order to wash away the questions as to what his life means. A sacrifice, that when executed will bring about a meaning greater than himself. Our ancestor was born into this duty, however for the modern day man we need to learn to choose. Most men who are lost, drift mindlessly through life not knowing that their direction can be found by choosing a path that will lead to fulfillment and sticking to it no matter the cost. If that sacrifice is something you enjoy than awesome, if not at least you know that what you are doing is a part of a greater matter. Your hardship is justified, however floating around mindlessly without thought of a greater purpose isn’t.
