What is the Meaning Of Life?

A rather controversial topic and it may possibly be one of the most wondered questions in the minds of people. Putting all in one sentence, people are taught and told in the Old Testament of the Holy Word of God that we must love Him and also those who are around us as well. That is one of the many righteous rules and decreed commandments in life which can be subsequently described furthermore in the things which one should or should not do, thus having been enlightened with goodness.
Some people view success in life actually makes life itself a meaning of its own. By their achievements at doing certain things, they get to feel and experience the joy and satisfaction. There are those who just want to live and indulge in their personal desires, doing whatever that makes them feel good. It may or may not affect others as they pleasure themselves with what their interests are. Environmental entertainment provides people a sense of comfort and contentment. Affinity is also part of the meaning of life as everything is predestined to come to pass as it is fated to be the way it will happen to be in due time. Such like meeting certain people in a persons' lifetime and going through many different kinds of moments in life.
People would also treat certain activities such as sports and games, music and singing, arts and crafts, cooking and etc with great passion as being a part of their interests and hobbies. It gives them much meaning in life just to go through the motion of performing these activities, likely going on a daily basis. With those who may still be learning simple steps and those who are highly skillful and talented in executing certain actions, the tendency is that they will appreciate and enjoy life ever more increasingly.
Trading of goods, items, products, firms and businesses are part of the economic system in places, cities and countries proofs to make a huge impact in life. As this is what sustains the life of every human for their needs and necessities for themselves by making their purchases with currency. The major importance of earning a living with work effort and time will usually be the case for many people as they age into adulthood. To subsequently be hired into a company and get their salary for their usages. To form and build a family for that matter, requires funding as well, so by getting a job will be crucial for any compulsory expenditures. This is somewhat the primary basis of being an everyday part and parcel thing towards the meaning of life for most people.
Entrepreneurs and employees help to maintain functionality in the society as they offer their occupational skills, to perform work duties to accommodate other people by setting themselves as contributors for their needs and well-beings in many ways. The role of existing governments in every country determines the key foundation of how the lives of common people will lead through their days in this world. Some find meaning in life by aspiring to excel well in their education to gain greater sense of knowledge about anything with regards to learning different curricular based modules and subjects within their interests, to be a highly intellectual individual. As they specialize themselves with certain advanced traits or fields, being an asset to the society.
Knowing one other thing which gives incredible meaning to life is actually being an inventor of anything that is beneficial to the world. Also, to those whom have dedicated and offered themselves to the progress of building a nation for the citizens in several ways with their efforts to provide better living environmental conditions. While those who seek after many forms of leisure, might not treat their life with much deeper sense of thoughts. If doing certain work instead may have some or any beneficial purposes at all. They may just think that as long as they get to gratify their liking such as getting the opportunity of going on vacations to other countries or perhaps the consumption of different delicacies and delicious food. Not requiring much rigorous effort at all as they savour these things to their hearts' content.
Individuals who would place their career and work by earning as much money as they can get as their top-most priority. The thought of having much money should mean that one will have the ability and chance of living a good or better life; thinking that wealth pertains to everything that matters when it comes to debating on the meaning of life. It is arguably something that people find it to be on an edge of leading a desirably comfortable lifestyle by having anything they want in their lives. With regards to giving and defining the meaning of life, some tend to hope that their aspirations of being able to achieve their wish, means the whole world to them. In such instances for materialists; which may be of the majority, they want the best objects and items of every kind that they use and apply in their daily lives. However, some affluent people would actually still feel and sense an aura of emptiness despite having every bit of what others who are in the category range of poverty, would wishfully be very glad to inherit.
Fame and fortune are also one of the many factors that people would want to gain as it shows that they are welcomed by many other people in the world. This brings extra meaning to life as they are living for a reason that they can treasure the feelings of being loved by their fans. Celebrities are living legends in the minds of those who take great interest in them. Some even being obsessed of their talents as they keep the masses entertained. These famous people make the society a place where commoners can get together and celebrate their passionate love and admiration for whichever celebrities that suits them the most.
Certain wealthy people in emphasis would still find that their lives are lacking in something. For a good example is that it is rather pointless to have all the wealth in the world without having the health to coordinate with and having provided the chance in expending much or all of it due to physical weakness. After gaining and gathering several riches with much of their efforts earlier, to realize that they would end up facing against the missing sense of an ability that could elevate any emotional energy encompassing them.
Due to the reason that they have only been mainly focusing on building and accumulating wealth on earth which may so be called and treated as a form of treasury in their eyes. Forgetting or even neglecting one fact that it is all temporal and none of it can be brought with them as they pass on from here. So perhaps there should be a need to seek after a spiritual path. Especially one that really brings true meanings to life which may hopefully be revealed with revelation to those lost souls. Those who are heading towards the wrong direction and also by choosing the incorrect path for the sake of safety with regards to their souls.
Life is about making all sorts of decision and speaking of differently various words, associating and socializing with people with conversations important or not. Everyone has a choice whether if they would choose to do deeds either right or wrong which will affect others in a good or bad way. Such as stealing something from others or giving away a possession. We ought to learn the appropriate principle of showing that we care for people without prejudice and not be corrupted with heavy sin even as we are borne as sinners in this world.
Religions may so be a part of giving meanings to life as people follow certain rules according to their beliefs and doctrines. They see it to be something important and that it adds values to their life if they are serious and devout towards it. It is their rights to choose any kind of religions they want to trust in and to follow. There are a various variety of religions in the world, but the truth remains unrevealed to some individuals who are not on the right road. That is to say that whatever they practice is false and also the traditions they follow are of deceptions.
Our every bit of act is believed by some people of a faith that our deeds will be recorded by angelic deities with due honor to the eternal and everlasting King, whom we know not His absolute powerfully perfect and holy nature is of. When we bring ourselves to face the reality of death in the meaning of life, it then becomes soberly clear that we should strive after every known way to truly make good use of this one life that all of us are only given. If we have a mindset to only want to receive and keep every benefit for ourselves alone and not to at least spare a kind thought for others, we are surely living a rather selfish way of life which is something very unduly.
Helping those who are least fortunate if we are well to do monetary wise is surely a virtuous thing to do. However, it is quite true that a wealth load of money does not interpret and compose the entire meaning of life but only just a part of it. The hope of survival which is an utmost basic core for every human, instinct plays a huge role in being in the vast spectrum of attaining the importance of what is meaningful of life. Different gender relationships of love and marriages also bring a form of hearty harmony. With having a sense of human intimate interaction, couples being infatuated with one another is also part of life. So also do mothers reproduce infants and nurturing them, bringing lives to the land of life and death.
Joining as one united nation without any disputes among different countries brings what is known to be peace. There should not be any threats and hatred against one another most importantly and that compassion for others are what will be greatly appreciated if people were to have a heart of goodwill. However, conflicts had somewhat caused detriments to the world into destruction of experiencing dire situations at certain moments in all of history. It gave a completely miserable meaning in life to those people who were alive back then as they have been overwhelmed by terrible situations with a rush of fear and agony followed by casualties. Reconciliation is absolutely crucial as an act of cooperation that eventually brings a really meaningful relationship in life which shows mutual forgiveness. Avoid doing anything that is harmful to others' well-being is definitely an instruction we need to follow.
Wanting to fulfil what our wishes are, surely brings much enthusiasm and motivation in everything we do as we are rewarded with excitement and being able to feasts on it with our senses. Thus, thinking that this is something that will be able to extract the essence of personal gratification in terms of going through a pleasant life of our own, making life meaningful as well. Probably many people think or may suppose that this ideology is all that really matters to them, but it might possibly be just a little bit narrow minded because people would be prone to lose their interest in these activities after a period of time.
Maybe life means that one would have to go through and experience a series of events, happenings, situations and occurrences. To sometimes feel embarrassed or proud, respected or disrespected, anger and sadness or happiness and joy. Agitated into aggression that may turn into violence, to sometimes feel hungry or satisfied with food. Play or work, to make sacrifices or making some gains, to be lied to and deceived by a person or to be told the truth by someone. Taking risks or to feel safe or assured with a decision by attempting to take an action with a motive. Earnings and losses, winning or losing something, singing or mourning, cry or celebrate. Resting and relaxation, boredom or engaged with something that is found to be fun and interesting. To feel sick or possess a healthy body, sleepiness or to be awake and alert, pain or comfort, excitement and anxieties. Love and hate, worry and distress or feel confident, to be exhorted or discouraged. Criticized or complimented, scolded and insulted or edified and praised, trust and distrust, giving and receiving. Enjoyment and suffering, chaos and havoc or peace and harmony, successes and failures and to either be rich or poor. But most importantly other than these or others that may not be mentioned here, having a life means you will have to encounter death one day to arrive unfortunately...
