You may ask, what is a purposeful life? Well, the answer is simple and straight. Doing something that you love and along the way, contributing your part in the betterment of the society without any selfishness and greed is a life of purpose.
Something that every person should be doing. But the sad fact is that a very few people nowadays are interested in living a purposeful life. Very few people are interested in taking out the time for knowing what they love to do. Weird, no. Irresponsible, certainly. Even fewer people are interested in contributing to the society. When people are asked for what have they given to the society. They usually reply as
Well I would like to answer them all, in my words.
1. It isn't so that the society hasn't given you anything. It may be that whatever position you hold today is because of your own own hard work but without the society, you won't be standing anywhere. Moreover, who has ever heard of a rock-star without any fans or an excellent teacher without any student. It's all the same.
2. It would be cowardly to say that your contribution doesn't hold any value. The contribution of each of us is as important as a single key in a piano without which the song wouldn't be complete. Moreover, the society consist of nothing but people like you and me. Right
3. Who has ever said that the society is your responsibility. It's the responsibility of all of us. It is not a duty imposed on you. It should be natural. Don't do it for yourself, instead, do it for yourself. You will feel happy when you will contribute for the welfare of the society. Like the old saying goes "A little fragrance remains in the hand of the person who gives the flower ". And let me remind you. Nothing the the world is more important than a mind full of happiness.
Now, the time has come for you to give your life a purpose. Even if you haven't done it for your whole life, do it today, do it now. As the old Chinese saying goes "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today."

- Why would I give anything to the society, it hasn't given me anything?
