The Meaning Of Life?


Few things in our existence can be more perplexing than trying to understand, or comprehend the meaning of life: and in opening it for perusal, I would like to ask the following: Have you ever wrestled with the meaning of life in your mind?

If so, did you ever come to a conclusion, or possible answer, or did you like so many others have done so before find it impossible to gain entry through the last few doors, and so left the topic, pending, so to speak.  If you thought about it, what did the thoughts and images in your mind conjure up?

Was it something religious, spiritual, a familiar locale of helping others, a time when you were sad and wished you could change it, or do something about it now?  It's all too familiar, isn't it?

When pondering on this subject many things came to mind, and one by one they were discarded, for they simply did not seem to enlighten the subject.  During the process, I came to the conclusion that the meaning of life meant many things, and that all were unique in their own way, and identifiable with oneself.  Therefore, a solution, and it may be a solution, it may even be the correct conclusion, is that the meaning of life, is nothing more than a series of perfect moments.   Perfect moments that when you think back in time make you smile, make you happy, and make you sad.  Moment’s that you will always remember and never forget.  Great times, bad times, times when you just stood there, molded in one place, struck with awe.  Moments that should be lived and relived as often as possible, in order to learn from.   These to me are the true meanings of life, and they are many.

 What are your thoughts on this subject, can you add more, have you found other interpretations? Are those interpretations yours alone, or can they be shared by others?

It may be interesting to follow another's thoughts on this subject...
