Meaning to life.... reflections

trying to define meaning to life
is a daunting task of one's life

some say realizing god should be the aim
others say thats what is residing in every human being

some associate the meaning to success and prosperity with material wealth
but then who is to define what is sufficient for oneself

the endless desires keep everyone in rat race
today you are ahead tomorrow you are behind and chase

the comparison mode never ends
and people go crazy following the latest trends

it has become hard to live a peaceful life
ubiquity of gadgets has made us more busy then we think

new addictions are being invented each day
people are minting money at others people dismay

I wonder who is to debate on optimal utilization of resources
every country seems to be busy industrializing themselves

prosperity and development are linked to physical living status improvement
but who is to question if that is coming at the cost of losing your mental peace

as one becomes prosperous
desires grow in cube
and mental peace deminishes by cube root
as one amasses more one fears of losing more

this is where I see a flaw
attaching all definitions to material amassed by one
but then they say such is life
and people live by without questioning the state of their plight

I wonder what world we are creating
but inventing more and more virtual things

I am still in search of meaning to life
and this is what till date i have realized.....
