Re: A question to everyone

>Dear Metaperson,

The best answers are always the simplest answers. Without having read
any of the previous replies, there are those that say that life
understood is life lived.

However, my recent discovery was simply, that life will only ever
start to make sense once you stop looking for meaning in it. There is
no plateau of understanding that one reaches and then is afforded some
grand view of the scheme of things. We are as innocent shortly after
birth as we are before death.

Having said that, it's the small little details that I've been
noticing more and more lately that bring me joy. I too have no clue as
to what I want to do with my life- or how i will contribute to
society. Recall that it is not the destination but the journey, not
the end but the means.

As corny as it sounds, stop and smell the roses. Make eye contact with
strangers, get to know a street person by name, hold doors for older
ladies and older men, learn to tell stories well and follow through on
your promises.

These are all the things that when consciously practised, will become
second nature, and hopfully provide as much meaning for you as they
are starting to for me.

To the pessimists I say nay, life lived is life understood.
