life, oh life.

what is the meaning of life? this is certainly a question that has crossed our minds at least once. we ask ourselves, 'why are we here?', 'what's our purpose on earth?', 'why is there life?', and other questions along similar lines, all hoping that we will ultimately land with the magical answer to......

the meaning of life.

no doubt i too find myself pondering on this rather excessively at times. wishing that someone can just lay out a road map of my life, so that i do not have to worry about whether i'm living my life to the fullest. when will i be successful? when will i get married? when will i have kids? and of course, the most dreadful of all, when will i inhale my last breath?

but why am i worried about finding the all so magical answer. what difference would it make if i found out 'the meaning of life'? will it make me happier? perhaps it can provide some solace and give peace to the mind that everything will be all right in the end. well, maybe.

but nobody's going to give me an answer. what's the joy in it anyway? i need to find my own meaning of life. just as there are no two same person, there are no two same lives. i should do what makes me happy; what gives me satisfaction, and more importantly, what makes me feel that i'm truly living my life.

we should all live our lives as we wish*, for after all, it is OUR life.



*some may disagree with this, for sometimes living life as you wish can hurt others around you. it must be understood that a basic constituent of human life is social interaction, so that definitely has to be weighed in when making life decisions. with that said, we should not hold ourselves back too. i know it sounds like a MAJOR contradiction, but look at life and you will know that contradictions is what it is essentially made up of :)
