The "Meaning of Life"

The meaning of life.

It is an age-old question.

Perhaps, in fact, we are tired of hearing the question.

“What is the meaning of life?”

It is a cliché.

 

Perchance, the meaning of life is not simply about our hearts beating.

Of course, that certainly helps.

Being alive, however, can be about many things.

Being alive can be about feeling the emotions of each day,

Feeling the stress of it,

Feeling the fun of it,

And seeing the true reality of life

Because there is more than meets the eye.

 

The true reality is that the meaning of life is exactly that:

Life.

We should appreciate all it gives us.

In the end, the question should not be

“What is the meaning of life?”

The question should be,

“Have I lived life well enough to give it meaning?”
