why are we born if we're gonna die

For how long i have dreamed of being one of the most successful people in the world i always looked up at myself , and was always the top at class. i wanted to be the best everywhere. and by the way who doesn't ! 

who doesnt want to be the richest most intelligent person in this wild world

then one day i lost my brother, my eldest brother, he passed away by a car accident; he was only 23. i was really shocked ive never taught of death before that. i kept on questioning my self what the hell did my brother do? he did nothing bad, he hurt no one, he was a young lad full of ambition and talent. so y did he die? he left nothing in this world only his mum, dad and his brothers and sisters suffer his loss. thats it 

why are we born if we are gonna die ?????????????

that was my question. i kept on thinking of the mystery of life until i found a logical answer ;

we were not just born to eat and drink,learn and drive,gain money and spend and then to die.

allah brought us for a number of reasons not haphazardly one of which:  

we are born not for the sake of ourselves but  for the sake of the others we are born to keep our footprints everywhere thus instead of learning just to gain intelligence i would learn to help the others learn as well. instead of dreaming of  gaining millions just to have everything u want; make your dream come true but to support charities and help th poor as well

.

living for the sake of the other means living for ever and ever
