The End of All Things

The end of all things, an uncertain road?
    To ignoble ends, reduced to mere bone,

    Or glorify Him, who lightened the load,
        the end of all things…

I like the way the Westminster Confession's catechism captures it: Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever :-)
