What is life? What is the meaning of life?
Life in itself is meaningless. It's we, ourselves, who give meaning to life.
Why do we need to give meaning to life? Well,.. we want to be happy. We want to feel happy. That's why we give meaning to life by setting a purpose in life. And this is natural. In the stone age days, we worried abt staying alive - thus, protecting lives is our main purpose then. But now, with technology advancement, we live longer & basic survival is no longer a threat - thus, we needed a different purpose to cater for our natural urge for a purpose. That's where it gives us a lot of headache too. ;-)
In a nutshell, the sad truth is that no one can give u a meaning to life. Only u can find a purpose for yourself. On the contrary, the happy thing is that it empowers u to make yr own decision and be responsible for yr own success and failure. And this thought is intriguing - knowing we control our own fate!
