Life is meaningless if you don't have the urge to wake up the next morning to see the next day. Too many people live their lives unhappy because they do not have any purpose or meaning to meet or fulfill their needs. I was seeking to find out what is meaning of life with the help of philosophy. As I state in this essay a goal to me is something I live for and something to look forward to in life. Without purpose and meaning in life, there is no point in living at all. Life is forked, glorious, and not limited to certain words. It is the period of time that ranges from the moment a person was born to his death. That life is the sum total of activities that a person undertakes during his diaries, and that proves his presence on earth.
The meaning of life is life an irreplaceable opportunity. Life is that opportunity that every human being is given through which he can reach the sublime, and realize his full humanity. Life is an opportunity that all people must seize according to what he deems appropriate, and it is very short, as it is useless to waste it in bad deeds and conflicts, and it is so precious that it is not conceivable to waste it in what is useless. In all of this, it is considered as human capital, and in order for a person to enjoy his life and in order to fulfill his goals and realize his dreams and ambitions, it was necessary for him to follow a certain way of life and pay attention to many aspects.
There are many people who have important things in life, such as enjoying life, filling the free time with hobbies and work that the heart desires. As this helps to increase achievement, and bring joy to the heart.
With a sense of life, a person realizes through emotion that he is free in his behavior and that all people have their different emotions, achievements and way of thinking, and that he is connected to the aspects of living. And all the events taking place around him, and the opposite of that feeling. It pushes a person towards isolation and detachment from reality and exposure to severe bouts of depression, which may sometimes lead to the desire to commit suicide.
Life on this planet is a bit confusing. I have learned many aspects of life from which one could derive meaning, if that meaning could actually be extracted. I have also learned that there can never be an individual meaning of life that represents all of us, or even anyone of us. What I learned above all is that trying to put words into the meaning of life is important. This should not be confused with the idea that life has no meaning, because life definitely has meaning. However, there is no single meaning of life that needs to be defined - life is different for all of us.
