What makes Buddha special to be enlighten, a simple answer could that he is the one to know answers for some of the toughest questions in our life. (What makes a question tough ?, that is more of subjective.)
But what makes us striving in everyday' life, it could be our thoughts, ambitions, passion, innovation and we can keep adding to the list. Every one of us some day or the other would have felt about the reason for being born on earth or what am I here for ?
Well I'm searching the answer for the question too, If you have found one please let me know...
But what makes us feel enlighten though we are not Buddha and do not know the answers for the questions that could be un-answered ? I feel the right way to feel enlighten is by bringing others to light....
Yep, try to be a light house in other' life...could be by your help, co-operation, motivation, support, guidance and so on. But people are here for people, we must realize that and ensure that everyone is happy about (him/her)self.
