Does life have a meaning and does it have to have a meaning? That would be my question

To me, the meaning of life is so relative, you know, like it's one of those age old questions. Everybody always wants to know what the meaning of life is. But I think that changes person to person. Some don't feel like there is a meaning that it is just a thing. Others feel like you give yourself a purpose or a meaning that you apply, and others feel that a higher power prescribes that to them or dictates that that is what they shall be

Our own personal narrative is what it is... just my 2 cents🙏

So my reply to this question is loosely based on something that I recently read, which goes on to say that there is no one cosmic meaning to life. You know, there's only the meaning that each one of us give to it somewhat like individual plot or a book for each person, a narrative that we create for ourselves. So that's what I life is all about, a narrative, very subjective one. And that's

Do you agree?

So Victor Frankl is famous for having said in his book Man's Search for Meaning that those who have a why to live can bear almost any how. And I'm wondering if you agree or not

Finding the meaning is what life is about

To me, life is about finding the meaning, and therefore the Y definitely becomes important because it is sort of the fuel that urges me to move on in search of those experiences that will eventually lead me to that vantage point from where I look back and get a bird's view of all those experiences that helped me get there. And some of the parts is the whole, as they call it. And at that moment I will look at what has been my life Wight

Feel free to reiterate and add on! x

Honestly, I think the meaning of life is just the discovery of your own self worth and purpose through many trials and tribulations, whether good, bad outcomes, our result, or whether, you know, I don't know. I just feel like the meaning of life is discovery in itself
