The True Meaning of Life - In One Word

in #writing7 years ago (edited)

Few days ago, my younger sister asked me: "What is the true meaning of life? What is the purpose of life? and How do I live a better life?". And of course, I am not mature enough and I dont't know how to answer it throughly. But this is a part of my answer:

Love, Passion, Family, Peace, Enviroment, etc. If there is one thing in common about these words, it would be all of those are very important to our life in one way or another. Several years ago, somebody told me that "You Don't Know What You Have Until It's Gone", so is it true?

  • We hurt the ones we love then realize how stubborn are we.
  • We give up somethings that we are passionate, give up our dreams then we lose hope easily.
  • It takes a few years of work just to make us realize how important a day off is.
  • We waste a lifetime to make other people that we don't know to be happy.

We all have a thousand reasons, mistakes and losses. Some of it is because of impetuous, many others give up because of hardship and to somebody, they don't have any other choice. All reasons are the same, we have lost our most precious thing.

And now, close your eyes and take a deep breath, and ask yourself a simple question: " What is it that really matters the most to you?". Think about the greatest things you ever have, Think about something that you can not afford to lose, Think about something that make you smile. And whatever is your answer, you must keep it, hold it tight, treasure it and never let it go.

The world is too big, and we only have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, we only live once. Therefore, if you ask me what is the meaning of life in one word, then what I can say to you is to Appreciate what matter the most to you. The Appreciation Makes The Meaning of Life.

Hi @symonp
I do not think so, for me my life is a journey to find myself. Things that may be meaningful to you, but it is a constraint to my freedom. You can see my approach in next my post. It is also relevant to your topic.
Here, unfortunately I still have not found the answer.

I guess we have different views about life but I guess yours is much more complicate than mine. Thank you for your time and your honest opinion sir :D

Dear @symonp
We are different, and we talk to lessen the difference.

Wow! @symonp I love the way how you sum up the meaning of life.

Appreciation

We have kinda the same way of looking into our life. I’ve been appreciating every bits of all the things happening and the things that I have in my life. In those appreciation, I became inspired and most especially, I’ve been learning.

But if you’ll ask me how will I describe life in one word, that is LOVE, everything follows.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts @symonp. This is great! Lovelots!

It could be anything depends on how we think about life :D. Thank you for your time reading and give your insight about the true meaning of life my post. It means a lot to me.

Ayeee.. no probs @symonp... yes, it all depends and I like your message actually. :-)

It's true. You are given choices in life, most forget they are living in the bed of choices they've made. Often appreciation is overlooked as these choices we have made is overshadowed by the consequences. Today i will try and appreciate my unexpected day off!

U should appreciate every little things that you have in your life too. U will surely feel a lot happier :D.
