My perspective on life?
Life Sucks and there is almost nothing you can do about it.
you meet friends and people you love and you leave them or they leave you in a short period of time.
You go up to high school then all the friends you have made go off to college and you start all over. You finish college and leave the friends you made there and start over. You begin work then all types of things happen and life changes drastically, friends are made and lost.
People are the true center of everyone's life, good company means good times, You can't always be in good company though and you cant always be around people. Even when you are, you have to have something to do and life can be quite boring.
People are often to horrible to each other to make life half-way enjoyable though. Thousands of people are born each day but even more die each day, and a lot of that can be contributed to the malice of our fellow man. There are always exceptions, good people you will meet along the way though, these are the people you have to hang on to for as long as you can.
Either life is a buffer point for something worth while or we are all here for the sole purpose of propagation which sucks. This is where faith would come in, if you have any.
Every person's purpose in life is different because they choose that purpose in their heart and minds. We all need something to strive forward to, when we find out what that is for each of us we can then pursue it and with it happiness.
"The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher."
-Thomas Henry Huxley, Life and Letters of Thomas Huxley
I think the problem is we all fall into lull's and dont grow, how many people do you know that are actually happy? None most likely, just "content" people or worse. I know i am unhappy, maybe thats why my views are as they are.
Oh well, im rambling.
