Should we live for other people’s happiness?
You know, the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not. 'Have you found joy in your life?' 'Has your life brought joy to others?' —The Bucket List
Maybe that's well-intentioned but very deceptively naïve. It raises the question as to whether you should live for your happiness or devote yourself to making other people happy. What should be on priority? For the enlightened one the question is utterly irrelevant (and he would know why!) But what would I say to those still in the journey of spiritual development?
First of all, there's no heaven and hell. What is, is here and now in this life. So, you need not worry and do anything to secure your wellness after life. Death is the end of consciousness. There's absolutely no "you" after you die.

The idea of living solely for other people's happiness is fundamentally wrong, because that kills one's freedom.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.” I was touched by this quote. We never deny that life becomes even harder as days come and much more because we live not just for ourselves. But knowing the fact that there are people who never left us when life gets tough, we can always say life is ironic yet beautiful.
