once upon a time there lived a very wise man he was the mayor of a local village everyone respected him and his views and opinions were well regarded many people came to him seeking for advice his son however was very lazy and wasted his time sleeping and spending time with his friends no amount of advice or threat made any difference to him he would not change at all the years passed and with time faded the youth of the wise man as he grew older he began to worry about his son's future he recognized that he had to give his son something so that he could take care of himself and his family to be in the future so one day the wise man called his son to a woman said my son you are no more a kid now you must learn to take responsibilities and understand life I want you to find the real purpose of your life and once you find it remember it always and you will lead a life full of happiness and joy forever he then handed his son a bag when the son opened the back he was surprised to see four pair of clothes one for each season there also were some raw foods greens lentils little money and a map his father continued I want you to go find a treasure I have drawn a map of the place where the treasure is hidden you need to go and find it the son loved this idea for the first time he thought that his father had a good idea for him so the next day he eagerly set out on a journey to find the treasure he had to travel really far across borders forests plateaus and mountains days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months along the way he met a lot of people he was helped by some with food and by some with shelter he also came across robbers who tried to rob him and people who try to cheat him he experienced the best and the worst of humanity on his way slowly the season changed and so did the landscapes along with it when the weather was unpleasant he halted for the day and continued his journey when the weather cleared finally after a long year he reached his destination it was a cliff the map showed the treasure being placed below the cliff under the tree upon spotting the tree he began to take the ground he searched and searched around it under it over it but found nothing he spends two days looking indeed for the treasure by the third day he was so exhausted that he decided to leave disappointed over his father's life he headed back to his home on his way back he experienced the same changing landscapes and seasons this time however he halted to enjoy the blooming flowers in spring and the dancing birds in monsoon he stayed in places only to watch the sunset in Paradise or to enjoy Pleasant summer evenings since the supplies he carried were over by then he learned to hunt and make arrangements for his meals he also learned how to sew his clothes and shelter himself he was now able to determine the hour of the day by the position of the Sun and plan his journey accordingly he also learned how to protect himself from wild animals he met the same people who had helped him earlier this time he stayed a few days with them and help them in some or the other way to repay them he realized how nice they were to an ordinary passerby who had nothing to offer to them in return when he reached home he realized it had been two years since he left the place he walked straight into his father's room father he said the father immediately jumped his feet and hugged his son so how was your journey my son did you find the treasure he asked the journey was fascinating father but forgive me for I wasn't able to find the treasure maybe somebody took it before I reached he surprised himself by what he just said he wasn't angry at his father instead he was asking for forgiveness there wasn't any treasure in the first place my son the father answered smiling but why did you send me to find it then thus I asked I will surely tell you why but first you tell me how was your journey to the place did you enjoy it of course not father I had no time I was worried someone else would find the treasure before I did I was in a hurry to reach the cliff but I did enjoy the journey on my way back home I made many friends and witnessed miracles every day I learned so many different skills and the art of survival there was so much I learned that it made me forget the pain of not finding the treasure exactly my son I want you to lead your life with a goal but if you remain too focused on the goal then you will miss out the real treasures of life the truth is
"life has no goal at all other than to just experience it and grow with every single thing the purpose of life is to live it to taste experience."
