The Meaning of Life

Ok, and my opinion (besides the Christian view) of the meaning of life are basically as follows:

  • We are meant to discover and create.
  • We are meant to find out what things mean or how they work.
  • We are meant to see what we can make out of life.
  • We are meant to learn from our mistakes.

And so, with this, I will now explain my theories.

If you think about it, the routes of most of our thinking and accomplishment (as well as our satisfaction) comes from the things listed above. For instance, we want to see how our future turns out. For most of us, we want to make a difference. Most people aren't happy with simply being another person who will eventually die, forgotten. So many people live to figure things out. Inventors, scientists, and many more people that we wouldn't at first think about. People want to see what they can do, how far they can go.

Human-beings naturally crave to figure things out. If you don't believe so, why are you reading this article? Because you want to see what I think about the topic? Because perhaps I got it right. And being a human-being, you want to find out what the meaning of life really is. So think about the main objectives in your life, you want to find out how your children turn out, or if you're not there yet, you want to see how you will turn out.

Of course, this is just my opinion, and we all have different opinoins. And technically, if an opinion can't be right, then maybe there isn't a right meaning to life? It's possible that we all have different meanings to life, which would also make since, right?
