The meaning of life is….there is no meaning of life. Rather, we create meaning in everything we do, or everything we don’t do. I think meaning is subjective and personally defined. Let’s assume someone thinks the meaning of life is to sit back, drink beer, and watch TV all day. Who am I to say that that’s not meaningful (to that person)?
We will never arrive at an ultimate conclusion about what life is really all about. We were all created so differently that everyone is able to shape and form their own meaning of life. And what if there was only one conclusion about what life’s really all about? We would all be like robots, with no imagination, no creativity. We’d have nothing to strive for personally, our lives would be laid out for us by the time we were old enough to talk, read, and write. I can’t imagine living without being able to live on my own terms, create my own being, etc…
In essence, life can be whatever you want it to be. It can be as simplistic as working a 9-5, coming home and spending time with the family to exploring outer space to winning a Nobel peace prize. The important thing to remember is that creating meaning is up to you and to find the answers you are looking for, all you have to do is look within.
