The Lost Perfection


That spiritual side of ours must then be represented by our rationality and freedom, and since the will is a universal appetite, it is never satisfied by material good that we acquire because it could always be better; we can never get enough. Blaise Pascal said, " There is an infinite abyss in the human heat that can only be filled by infinite good." There is only one infinite good: God. He is perfect. He is then our only means to complete happiness for He is the meaning to our life.
             Victor Frankl said, " The most fundamental of all of human needs is the need for meaning." Meaning can only come from recognizing a purpose. Life then has to have a purpose and a meaning to it or we would be laboring in vain. If life was meaningless, then everything would be meaningless and we would be going nowhere as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, "And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor: and this was my portion of all my labor. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun." If we have no purpose in our lives, then we would be laboring in vain. There would be no point of living this life at all. This all leads us to the fact that our lives must have an end and a purpose to it. And since we all strive for our perfection and complete happiness of our lives as referred by Blaise Pascal, " All men seek happiness, there are no exceptions," then the meaning of our lives is Saintity. The only way we can fulfill our infinite good desires throughout the course of our lives is God, for He gives meaning and purpose to our lives as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, "There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor.
