If you don't know your destination, every road leads you there!

Ignorance is Bliss!

You are constantly bombarded with contradictory statements, that 'life is here for you to savour, enjoy, you only live once!' and 'your existence here is for a reason, your presence should spur the race forward or at least your family'.

Proponents of the former would insist that the most precious you have in this birth is your life. And it is your God-given boon to enjoy, develop spiritually and make preparations for the elevation of your soul to better heights in the next re-birth. It is as though your worldly duties are secondary and the one that matters is you. Period. You should live life to the fullest, explore beyond yourself, reward yourself, pushing yourself to the limit and beyond.

On the other hand, there would be people who have charted responsibilities for everyone. Everyone has a duty to his dependants, kins, society and nation, depending on the situation. In a situation when a situation warrants a decision need to be made between giving up personal pleasures of the flesh or of the soul to submission to filial duties, familial duties should be prioritised. Needing to live for the moment does not arise. A life lived for the well being of others is life well-lived!

You are aware these two options and are in a perpetual flux. You are in a limbo between doing the good thing and the right thing. There is cognitive dissonance between the 'heart' and the 'mind'. You develop bias perception just to convince yourself that you are on the right track as the conflict of uncertainty is simply too overwhelming.
