Have You ever asked Yourself any similar questions like: “what is the meaning of my life?” or “is my life meaningful?”.
If You did and You got confused – do not worry. You are one of the 7.5 billion people on this planet whom thought about it in one way or another.
These questions arise from the pressure which comes from society. They all shout in different ways that in order to be successful You must live a meaningful life. Also, it comes from the inner desire to realize Yourself.
The inner pressure forces You to create an illusion that You must find meaning in Your life as soon as possible before it is not to late!!!
We’ve all probably seen an image of a philosopher resting he’s forehead on a clenched fist and thinking about the endless questions that doesn’t have answers.
Looking at this image makes me realize that this is a constant state of uncertainty. I strongly believe none of us want to experience endless uncertainty. It reminds me the legend about the endless work of Sisyphus. Being worry about the things You will never acknowledge is like rolling the stone up a hill forever.
On the other hand, there is much more behind this philosophy. Thinking helps You to understand Your emotions and other people. Also, it makes You more broad-minded.
I am not telling You to get rid of philosophy. I encourage You to use it more consciously. Do everything You can in order to achieve something and it will become meaningful. Let everything flow. There is nothing good or bad in our life’s and there is also nothing meaningful. Every person creates his own illusion which has a form of a meaning. The mission behind the meaning, which comes from the person’s inner world, becomes most meaningful to him.
Also do not worry if You feel like You a lack of purpose in Your life.
J.R.R. Tolkien in he’s book “The fellow ship of the ring” wrote a wonderful sentence, which I believe perfectly fits in this article – “Not all those who wander are lost”.
Wandering can be a great form of meditation, but it can also make You think too much and stop You from acting more.
To sum up I would like to share my opinion on this topic in a few sentences. What is the meaning of life is not even a question. There is no universal meaning. There are goals and actions which leads us all to different meanings. Actions creates something that becomes important to us and we gain an illusion that this is something meaningful.
