Our views are inadvertently shaped by the world we live in. See a predominant attitude that rules most of the people in the world: People buy things they do not often need with the money they do not have to impress people they don’t like! Now ask them: What do you get after impressing others? They will say: We get nothing! Then ask: “Why do you take all these troubles?” They may say: “Because all are doing, hence we too!” So is the case with people who greedily accumulate things which they can neither use fully nor carry with them when they leave this world—something which Alexander the Great and Bhuddha taught us with their very lives.
So, just because we cannot find purpose in what people in general do, we tend to see no purpose in what God too does. In His case, He does everything for some reason which may or may not be known to us for the time being. Yet we can discern something: Things in the world move toward goals, just as the arrow does not move toward its goal except by the archer's directing it. Thus, there must be an intelligent designer who directs all things to their goals!
