i agree with you myann!! 100 % and your reply is a normal reply..even i would reply the way u did...but since u said this theread is philosophy session..im trying to add a different flavor to it.im just philosophising and taking a different approach to your philosphical question..just going a little out of the regular track..please bear it!!
the way we think is how  we are designed and conditioned by our civilization to think..... .now step outside...throw away.the conditioning that weve been living with just for a while and think......what is all this for myann??..we all are headed towards the unknown..noone knows whats there..what is after this..i mean there are bigger questions...aspirations is just a whim..just an ego..which we need to let go of...understanding ourselves..and feeling our being should be our aspiration..when this aspirations is met none other worldly aspirations will ever excite us...name fame recognition respect ..they are all different manifestations of ego..aspiring to be another fellow human being is nothing but just an unnoticed jealosy of our conscience....aspirations create rolemodels and  someone trying to be the rolemodel is just imitating his rolemodel..in the process the originality is lost..where is this race headed to...nowhere..its a cycle that will repeat for eternity...but the one who aspires to step out of this cycle will eventually understand his being..and his relationship to the existence..and that his existence is just a part of a bigger existence..such should be a human aspiration my friend!!
