Responsible For Meaningfulness

The meaning of life is to find the meaning of life. Is it not? We all go through each day trying to figure out which road out the infinite amount of paths will lead us in a better direction where happiness is prominent and society is flawless. However, not every single human being is going to fit on that narrow, one-lane highway to success. Bad choices, accidents, fate, family matters, society, temptation, anger, rage, addiction, and loss of hope can all be deciding factors in opting to choose that wrong path to self-destruction. The adverse thing is, once you've traveled so far down the road, you get so discouraged that you feel like you can never turn back or make up for the "lost time."

"no learning to accept life the way it was meant to be and acting on it is going to bring change."

“Humankind has been sustained not merely by its intelligence, but by its capacity to hope.”

”Life should be an exciting adventure. It should never be a bore. A man should live fully, be alive. He should be glad to get out of the bed in the morning. He should be doing a job that he likes because he does it well.”

“We are all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral choices. Some are on a grand scale. Most of these choices are on a lesser scale. But we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are in fact the sum total of our choices. Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly. Human happiness does not seem to have been included in the design of creation. It is only we with our capacity to love that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying, and even to find joy from simple things, like their, work and from the hope that future generations might understand more.”

I often wonder what the purpose of life is. Does everything happen for a reason, meaning that we don’t really have any control over our life, or is life just the sum of all the choices we make? Is the purpose of life to be happy or is it to fulfill our duties? Should we settle and appreciate what we already have and feel at peace with it or should we struggle and fight to make a difference in our lives?

Many people believe that there is a reason that they are on earth. People think their reason is greater than anybody else’s reason. They think that they are on earth to save the human race. They have huge ideas of how they are going to change the world. Some people’s purpose may not be that big, their purpose may just be to have a child. This purpose that people have is what keeps them going. A plan that they want to make themselves or where they live better. This “meaning of life” is often why people strive to make themselves the best they can be. Even though many people won’t achieve this great purpose they have for themselves, they put in so much effort to try. In the book Man’s Search for Meaning Viktor Frankl’s meaning for life is his wife. I believe my meaning of life is to have a family. Changing ourselves, suffering to get to a goal, multiple people taking blame, and living life to the fullest are some things humans have to go through to achieve what they want.

Titled, The meaning of Life, this chapter starts with the question that perhaps we have all asked ourselves once. Does anything we do really matter? We all die at the end of the day, and generations to come won’t even remember you or the people around you, in two hundred years. Why is it that people do what they do? Nagel argues how religious people would answer this question. Can you live a life without having to worry about the meaning behind it? What is the meaning of life to you?

“A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how".”

The meaning of life is a question that people have been asking for decades. Some believe that the meaning of life comes from a variety of reasons, such as religion, hope, or simply just living life. In the book, A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, this famous question is posed, and many wait for thousands of years in order to find the answer, which turned out to be “42”. For some, this may be a disappointing answer but for others it may be relieving. People have been struggling with this question for as long as time, and will continue to struggle with this question. However, some find peace with this question. It depends on how someone looks at life in order to answer this question.

The consideration of the purpose of life has been ongoing and is never-ending throughout the course of history. The question itself has caused many people to generate many different strong views and opinions based on traditional, ideological backgrounds, and religious outlooks. The deliberation about the meaning of life will never end since there is not one reassuring basic, general answer. Instead, examine the question in another way, like, “What is my purpose in life?” The purpose of life varies from one person to another because of “free will.” While some people believe that for every human, life is called to some divine duty by God, everyone has a different drive that is waiting to be discovered within themselves, and people must set

To create a meaningful life, individuals must learn to enjoy what their life has to offer and to enjoy what it is they have to the

“Life is a self fulfilling prophecy. You are as significant or insignificant as you believe you are. Those who think they're capable of nothing, don't put in the effort to be something and predictably, end up as nothing. Conversely, those who believe they are capable of greatness put in a determined effort to do great things and consequently end up changing the world.”
