Do things without purposes

Today I borrow a book about Buddhism from the Chinese library. I wanted to learn something about Buddhism for a long time because I liked the little story of it. But I return it back in ten minutes, just after I saw a sentence in the foreword. The sentence is, “It is helpful for our building of the socialistic society with Chinese characteristics”.
It is not because I dislike the socialism that I return it back, but that I hate the book is not a pure one any more. It is polluted by the temporal things. A book, which focuses on the belief, shouldn’t be related to the temporal things. It must be pure.
We should read a book concentrating on spirit with a purpose such as building up our inner quality. We read them because we like it; we just enjoy the reading process.
I acknowledge that we will build up our inner quality after reading these books, but this shouldn’t be the purpose. It is always the result but not the purpose. Though the results are the same, the benefits we gain are different, because we have different attitudes.
Things always change when we do it with too strong temporal purposes. If you want to live a happy life, you should learn to do things for fun, just for fun. Doing things without purpose can simplify your life. Living a simple life always mean living a happy life. Hope you live a happy life.
