A couple of weeks ago, I talked about the meaning or life, or rather, I said that life has no meaning – that the only meaning life has, is the meaning you gave to your life.
Life is a mystery. We can never understand its expansive and infinite nature, its real meaning and fullness. Hence, we cannot be certain of the true meaning of life. Only we can fill the void which this incertitude creates. For surely, if there is a meaning to life, it would be common knowledge to all.
Here are what some people said about the meaning of life.
There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person. - Anais Nin
The meaning of life is that it is to be lived, and it is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a pattern of systems. - Bruce Lee
There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers, by living productively. - Erich Fromm
To comprehend the purpose and meaning of life, one must above all love life and become totally submerged in the turmoil of living. He who understands the sheer experience of living will, by the same token, understand the theory of life. - Kostya Ryabtsev
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. - Joseph Campbell
The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other – moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun. - John Eldredge
