U.G. Krishnamurti of the day - Why do we think we have a grand purpose?

in #dailyquotes7 years ago

We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood.

--- U.G. Krishnamurti

Hmm... It's funny, but I can't say that I have ever related much to the idea that I (or anyone in particular) have a "grand purpose." Seems to me more like a "manufactured" idea to instill some kind of ambition and work ethic in people... we must always "search" and never become "complacent" (meaning, content with what already is).

Thoughtful post, as always!

My pleasure. Thoughtful and eloquent response, as always :)

It's not necessarily grand but the main reason is like knowing the one??
