The Elephant Queen

I have watched this movie in Apple TV and observed a great shift in my perception of life.

Converted my idea into article using AI.

### Rediscovering Purpose: What Animals and Seasons Taught Me

I found myself deeply moved by the struggles of animals and how profoundly they depend on the timely arrival of the seasons. Nature’s rhythm is crucial for their survival; when it falters, many creatures simply have no choice but to perish. Sadly, much of this disruption is a result of human actions—our relentless pursuit of progress often comes at a cost to the delicate balance of the natural world.

Reflecting on this, I realized that I already possess everything I truly need: food, shelter, and the essentials for a comfortable life. Everything else—material possessions, too much focus on family (why do we need to spend entire life on just few when billions need our service), luxuries, and endless desires—is optional. Recognizing this has offered me a new sense of freedom and lifted many burdens of unhappiness that come from chasing after things I don’t really need.

I am no longer a beggar seeking fulfillment from the outside, feeling something is lacking; instead, I feel like a giver—abundant and content. For the first time, I am not asking God for something but giving to God by means of service. In spiritual terms, God works through us if we keep our ego aside. So, giving my body to God for him to work. In otherwards, listening to heart instead of head.

There are moments in life when we feel adrift or question our purpose, especially during times of personal loss or when we’re hurt by those close to us. I, too, have faced such feelings. But today, my perspective has shifted. I now see countless reasons to live—not for myself alone, but because this world desperately needs compassion, service, and conscious stewardship. Our actions, no matter how small, can help restore balance and offer hope to countless beings who share this planet with us.

It makes sense to spend our surplus not on fleeting pleasures or possessions, but on better causes. There is deep contentment and joy in giving, in helping, in serving.

Note:

As I mentioned earlier, it no longer makes sense to dedicate our entire lives solely to a few family members. You can observe the outcome of too much focus on just family—it often leads to tension. Personally, I feel uneasy when I depend too much on them; even a small disagreement can cause inner turmoil. On the other side, when family members receive more attention or resources than they need, it often leads to lethargy or a lack of motivation in them as well.

Research shows that over-dependence within families can heighten stress, increase conflict, and even contribute to emotional and psychological strain for everyone involved. Likewise, overindulgence can prevent loved ones from developing healthy independence and self-regulation, sometimes resulting in low motivation and other long-term challenges.
