An old man lived in a village. He was very wise and kind hearted. Villagers would come to him with their problems and he would give advice to solve them. One day a young man came to the village and met the old man. He said to the elder, "I heard that you know the solution to every problem. Can you tell me what is the purpose of life?" The old man smiled and said, "Son, life is a journey, and the purpose of the journey is what we set for it. Some people run after wealth, some after fame, and some after love. But the real purpose is how we improve our lives and make it easier for others." The young man said thoughtfully, "So what should I do?" The old man replied, "Finding the purpose of life is up to each individual. But remember, the greatest purpose is one that involves service and happiness to others." The young man thanked the old man and left the village with a new determination in his heart. He decided that he would devote his life to the service and well-being of others. From that day the young man started helping every needy person in his village. In time, not only did he prosper, but the people of his village prospered as well. People came to respect him a lot and he always followed the advice of his elder. And thus the young man succeeded in achieving the purpose of his life.
