“Live life, then, with a due sense of responsibility, not as men who do not know the meaning and purpose of life but as those who do. Make the best use of your time, despite all the difficulties of these days.” (Ephesians 5:15-16 PH)
One of my relatives went on a ‘cruise to nowhere’ with his family. The ship didn’t stop at any ports. The passengers enjoyed the buffets, pools, casinos, and shows for a few days as the ship floated around the Gulf of Mexico and came back to where they started.
Every life has purpose and meaning, although many of us are still trying to figure it all out. There are some who see life as a ‘cruise to nowhere’--they don’t feel there is a point to life other than the pursuit of pleasure. I think that enjoying life is important, but I also sense that each of us is here for a reason. Recognizing the purpose of our days on earth takes introspection and insight.
