The Meaning of Life
What is the meaning of life?
One of the first and the most important questions that man has ever asked in the history of our world is what is the meaning of life? Many people across the world have pondered this question ever since man has formed into civilization. Indeed, this question has befuddled many philosophers and thinkers in our day. Without getting too much into my own religious views, I will honor everyone with what I consider the meaning of life to be. I kind of went on a bunch of different tangents when I wrote this.
I believe that the meaning of life can be different for everyone. The meaning can change for each person based on the things they have done, the things they have seen, the environment they are grown up in, and their separate individual interests. The meaning of life is for you to discover what you want to do for the rest of your life. It is for you to understand how you want to act for the rest of your life. How you want to look when you grow up.
I also think that you can look at it this way. If I had to say what the meaning of life is in one word, it would be “grow”. In life we all need to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. That is why we are here on this planet; that is why we are faced with such difficult choices in our lives, and how are you supposed to grow without facing difficult choices. For example, why do you think that metal is transformed into refined steel by beating it up with a hammer? You would think that hitting it would make it weaker, but it only makes it stronger. We are like that metal, we need to be beaten up, we need to be cast down before we can be lifted up. That is the true meaning of life. If any of you have different opinions to me own, please feel free to share them.

I love that question! There are so many different ways for people to answer that question and it allows you to really think of life in as big of a picture as possible. This is very important for everyone to go through and figure out for themselves. I feel that over time the answer to this question can change for people, for we as men and women are always changing. We need to also understand that we are not alone on this earth. We are a part of everyone’s lives and affect their opinion on life just like how they affect our thoughts on life. We are all connected and affect each other in, at minimum, miniscule and incomprehensible ways.
