The Meaning of Life
Yes, I had to touch on this sooner or later, didn’t I? There are plenty of answer out there to the question, “What is the meaning of life?� but going by how many people are still asking, no one has found the all-encompassing answer yet. I’m certainly not here to tell you I have the answer either.
However, I can share with you my meaning and hope you derive some worth or meaning out of it yourself.
I believe there is more than one ‘meaning’ to life and that different meanings apply to different people. It’s a very personal experience to find this meaning. But I won’t take the easy route and say, “You have to find your own meaning� and then be done with it. Ultimately you do – it’s all part of finding your personal truth – but it’s entirely too easy for so-called gurus to simply leave it at that, and I won’t do it. Instead, I’ll share part of my personal Truth.
If there was any one meaning to life that I think could possibly encompass every life, learning would have to be it. There is a quote from the Emerald Tablets of Thoth (if you don’t know what those are, don’t worry; I’ll talk about them later) that says it better than I could (even if it is my personal belief):
“The connection between the material man and the spiritual man is the intellectual man.�
And there you have it. I believe we are here to learn, though our lessons are different, and that knowledge is a powerful force. Knowledge is to be pursued and willful ignorance is to be pitied.
What is your personal meaning of life?
