why set goals ?

what is kamyaabi? why am I setting goals and trying to achieve them. At times I feel its an excuse to not ponder deeply the meaning of life. But today morning I read something in "the speaking tree" that kinda made sense. The author said that "there are four main purposes to human life. They are: Moral perfection, worldly attainment, fulfilment of legitimate deries and liberation. The first 3  values have meaning only when they are aimed at the fourth. The first three practices make our lives satisfying so we can devote ourselves to the most important fourth ideal." So it is necessary to be kaamiyaab while being moral - and always concious of the fact that there is a larger goal towards which we are working.

Haan woh theek hai .... but what is the point of this liberation. I think this world is actually pointless. So this liberation is actually liberation from "struggling to survive". If you do well in life while having a clean heart then you will feel happy (because you are conditioned to feel jiittery when you lie). I think if someone is brought up to be most comfortable when they lie and cheat - then this is what they would need to do to live a fulfilling life.  Just that being social had evolutionary benefits - so we are trained this way. Bass is evolution ko samajh ke chalo aur apna kaam nikaalo .. woh to apna kaam nikal ke hi rahegi - there is no escaping her chungul.

Google pestering

I hate it when they try to sneak in other tools when i am downloading the tools that I need. In the last 2 days I have been asked if I need "chrome with real player" and "google toolbar with acrobat reader". Why is google trying to sneak into my life when I am already invested in their tools.
