Two days back I wrote about what I thought about purpose, and I remember tying it to how we’ve come to see life. I feel this goes a long way in defining our character, attitude and intentions. A man who has something to live for has something to fight for and would devote their life to fighting for it come rain come sunshine. I like to picture it like Superman(For a lot of DC fans that can relate) Who with all his strength and speed devoted himself to fight for humanity without killing his enemies. This is why it became out of code when you get to write a script (In comics especially) Portraying that superman killed for the right reason.

In my lifetime I've held on so tight to a lot of things that I looked up to portrayed. But then again I have seen circumstances in life that have made me question those values and see reasons to why there were people Who believed those values weren’t the ultimate. One of the values I held on to was always having undying love. I somehow wanted to show that I could love so deep, het hurt, and move on to love someone else even more than I loved the one who hurt me. This made me so trusting and so accommodating to the point that I let people into my life for no good reason until they hurt me so bad that it was hard to heal.
I had to drop it when I noticed I was beginning to struggle with myself, but it helped me find myself and the reason why I chose to show love in the first place. I saw that I was beginning to hate, so I learned to forgive, when I saw it was hard to heal, I learned to stop fighting with myself and accept that I wasn’t as strong as I thought and then I learned to let others help me. You can see that in everything I did, I learned. It just showed that from the onset what I was actually practicing was learning how to love. I think the most important lesson I got from those experiences is that one of the ways to truly love is allowing yourself to be loved.

I began to understand that I was learning, in fact I have understood that I am still learning and understanding this has made me know how I relate with things and people at this point of my life. I do not know everything, the things I think I know are limited. I am now more open that ever to learning, unlearning and relearning every single day. I feel it is what I need to do if I want to achieve my purpose of helping humanity. This is also because humanity is complex, what works for one would definitely not work for another, so how do I grow to be the man everyone can come to for help; I would definitely need a lot of learning and grooming and training, and must be humble enough to give myself to them.

Even the bible says "Seek knowledge" It is always good to learn from people who know more than you but some people will always think they know it all and are always shallow in knowledge, it is good to acquire more knowledge.

Graining knowledge never goes out of style. In fact, it's beautiful. We all know that he who is knowledgeable has more advantages than he who bears a spear.
