The Meaning of Life
by My attempts to collect my thoughts on what I believe is the meaning of life, shown through several examples I have witnessed to be tried and true in my lifetime.
The meaning of life is to accomplish waht you want. No matter what that want is, there is a way you can achieve it, and the meaning of life is to find that way. This is the only way to make one truly satisfied and as fully eternally happy as possible, in compliance with the Knowledge-Happiness theory, in which it is clearly outlined why we cannot be TRULY and FULLY eternally happy unless we know everything.
Thus, the meaning of life is to not only accomplish what you want, but the aim is to try to be as fully eternally happy as possible, which also requires knowing as much as you possibly can. Although this sounds much more like a PURPOSE and not the MEANING, having a purpose gives life meaning, that purpose being stated above. NOTE: Age, race, gender, religion, etc., but ESPECIALLY age, are not impediments nor are they excuses from starting your quest to accomplish your dreams.
Examples of why knowing everything is they only way to achieve full eternal happiness:
- When traveling to a foreign country, one cannot POSSIBLY take full advantage of their adventures there unless they are fluent in the language.
- If one does not know how to get somewhere or where something is, this will create discontent, and the person will not be happy, much less eternally.
Examples of why accomplishing what you want is the only way to be as fully eternally happy as possible:
- If you have always wanted to direct a movie, or had a good script idea for a movie, find SOME way to get that idea in motion and create it. It could be a home-made movie, or you could possibly find a way into Hollywood. Whatever the case, if you DO NOT create your vision of a movie, you will always be discontent that you never achieved what you wanted to.
- If you do NOT accomplish anything you truly WANT to do, you will just coast through life. This is the WORST possible scenario, and unfortunately the most common, in people in general. Coasting with an uneventful, boring job, and a repetitive lifestyle are the kryptonite of happiness. This is, in essence, ‘wasting your life’.
