Drifting

Sometimes I feel I was born too late into this world.
The age of exploration is long gone, there are no more mysterious places in the world, no more uncharted territories unexplored by man.

The era of revolutions & great ideologies is now just a bygone memory. People used to fight with great passion, to bring freedom & equality to our society.
But nowadays, the society we lived in (in the developed world) is dominated by consumerism & endless pursuit of materialistic wealth, while most people in the world still live with inequality & injustice.

The western world thought the only way to help the rest of the world, is to bring modernization to them.
The so-called progress, bring roads & consumerable goods like coca-cola & mobile phones to every corner of the planet, but at the same time, it creates pollution & plastic wastes in quantities far beyond our capacity for them.

Living in New Zealand was like living in a paradise to me, because it's a beautiful country, and it's far away from all the troubles & conflicts in the world.

But I felt lost.

What's my purpose in life?

Is it just like what everyone said, you should get a career, get wealthy, find someone, settle down, get married (or not), have kids (or not), take up some hobbies, have a normal life and be a good citizen, and there, that's your fulfillment in life!?

Unfortunately following the status quo is never my thing.

I guess that's why after graduating from university, I went on a pilgrimage, and now four years later, I left home again and ended up in India.
