Yes, you are here to help others but you are also here to learn and grow. Yes, I can see you are doing just that.

everyone of us has a purpose or a mission here in earth. we are not only to accept all the gifts or happiness, but also to pass the trails in our lives. i think I'm here to love, to care to hate and most of all to serve. this life is just a test road where someone who test us, whether we are fit to the finishing line. it's just a key if if it is appropriate to open the door so that we can enter to a place that we never ever get failed, somewhere called heaven.

My purpose here on earth is to give and take things. You have a psychology degree? That is cool, in your mind do you have the idea of categorizing things so you won't feel as lost? Do you make stereotypes of symptoms to diagnose a problem to see if you can do something for it?

Yep I have a Psych degree. No I do not feel lost. I have a purpose in life as I explained. I do not stereotype things so that I can try to solve them. I think you have the wrong impression on Psychologists in your head. We are not always analyzing things. I will however diagnose a problem if it exists. :)

But isn't that the way to rule out symptoms?

Nice that you want to help the mentally ill! I don't think the purpose is chosen for us but that we have to look around and find something that we can do to help our fellow humans. There is more happiness in giving, a wise man once said. I try to help people spiritually, to help them build a good relationship with our Creator. This will help in this life and in the one to come.
