Life is about someone else's life. Then, will life be lively. As a muslim, we carry out ibadah and that ibadah is dedicated to Allah SWT, for us to gain Allah's love. We achieve success in life to prove to our parents that we can repay what they went through (well maybe not all of it but at least 1/4 of it insyaAllah). We take care of each other's feelings by not letting their hearts get hurt. We buy things and the money we paid increases one's economy thus making them happy. We would do anything to make our pets happy although they have no idea how much we've spent. We try 'hard' to look pretty and presentable to please other people.
I can give you tons of example on the fact that this life we have is never for ourselves.
Maybe that is what makes life sweet.
The feeling of making other people increase in self development indirectly.
The feeling of having a purpose to strive in this life and the akhirah.
If this life was completely for ourselves, I personally dont think that our parents would carry out their responsibilities as parents. Job as parents are not easy and yes, it is tiring. (no ive never experienced it before). The fact that they know that the life that Allah grant them is not for them, instead it is dedicated to their children in order to gain Allah's pleasure. Once again, THIS life is never for ourselves.
If this life was for ourselves, would Jihad play a role in our lives?
Think about it.
