The Meaning of Life...

    Someone asked us recently. What is the meaning of life? The person asking was religious. What denomination is unimportant. They had tied the meaning of their life to their religion.And felt that without religion life had no meaning. And it's true that being religious can impart meaning to someones life. But the point is of course that the person who has the belief is imparting the meaning. And that's true of all of us. The meaning of life is different for each individual. Some of us may never find the meaning to our lives. Some find it quickly and easily. But it's not the same for everybody. We suspect it's not going to be the same for anybody. Although we all have the same needs, wants and desires. (with some variation, but they are almost universal.) How we define those wants and desires make us all different. Just a short note to point out that if you have found the meaning of your life, good for you. But you can't impart that meaning onto someone else. It wouldn't have the same meaning for them as it does for you. Personally this writer believes the meaning of life is to live it. To keep learning. To find as many answers to as many questions as is possible. It keeps us busy anyway. Ciao for now.
