Goals are dangerous items in one’s ethical environment. They are at sometimes very important, necessary and beneficial. However, they can also be at times stifling and unproductive. A goal can provide meaning, but setting a goal for one’s life can be exhausting and is often downright impossible.
I have recently given up trying to set a goal for my life, and am the better for it. I used to always try to have a final goal in life, even if it constantly changed as the hours wore on. However, whenever my life suddenly changed enough that my current goal no longer matched up with my surroundings, i was thrown into existential angst until i could formulate a replacement goal.
