Meaning of Life




What is the Meaning of Life? I really don’t understand why Mr. Lee always asks us to explain the meaning of life. I mean we are all 15, 16 or 17 years old. How in the world are we supposed to know the meaning of life when we’ve barely lived? I guess people like Mr. Lee says the meaning of life is a boiled egg or whatever in the world that might mean. It is apparently a Korean proverb or something. Yeah pretty weird…but some people might say the meaning of life is to reproduce. Like how God or something created us to have babies and continue the generation of people and civilization continue way far into the future. But personally the meaning of life isn’t just one meaning.

 There is no one meaning of life for the entire mankind. Every individual person has their own meaning of life. Someone’s meaning of life can be the complete opposite of another’s. For example, some women might believe that their meaning of life is to be faithful to their husbands and bare their husband’s children. Probably do everything for her husband, like cook, clean, ect. The typical stereotype old fashioned women. That might be some woman’s meaning of life, she may think that that is what she was brought on to this earth to do; and that’s totally acceptable. Just because one person’s meaning of life is different than your potential meaning of life, doesn’t mean that their meaning of life or yours is wrong. It simply means that each is different. Also the meaning of life can change throughout your life. Once you have grown from an adolescence to an adult your meaning of life may be completely different. But that is just because you are now living an entirely different life than you once were, which means that your definition of the meaning of life will change as well. Of course it is possible that you believe that there is only one meaning of life, but that’s your opinion. To me, it truly depends on the individual and that persons experience with life to get their meaning of life. Because two completely different people, from two completely different backgrounds can have very different versions of what the meaning of life is, or well it could also be the same. It all depends on the person’s outlook on life. If a person’s outlook on life is religious then their meaning of life will most likely have to do with God, or the Bible, or something. No offense but making one definition of the meaning of life is impossible. The meaning of life depends on whose life we’re talking about. So to say what the meaning of life is for others is impossible, its only possible to say what your meaning of life is. For me, right now, I do not know the meaning of life. And maybe I will never know. But to me, the meaning of life is not nearly as important as just living life.
