Your words are very deep. It is very good...
I think we often forget our essence created. We are created not solely to enrich ourselves, or to elevate the office, nor to pursuing human love. The God is the true purpose of life. We are commanded only to worship Him, not the other. "I did not create jinn and men except that they worship Me," (Surah Adz-Dzariyat: 56). But most of us instead forget Him, prefer the world and the trinkets that are in it .The time given by Him, is only used up to pursue the world, just a little time we have to make out with Him...
The world likened to the ocean, the more we drink the water, the thirst will be throat. That is, when the world the pursuit, we will never be satisfied to continue hunting him. The pleasure and beauty that it offers, feels very fun. So, we forget and neglect the obligation to the Creator.
