The Meaning of Life

Have you ever been so bored in class that you started to think deeply especially about your life purposes? I know I had especially during long boring Biology classes. They say the best place to think is in the shower room but maybe we do think also in the classroom but necessarily bout that particular subject

I have heard the question " What is the meaning of life?" so many times especially in Christian seminar. Honestly speaking in my humble opinion I have to agree with the picture I post we are born to die thus the meaning of our life is to get born and die. 

Why is it a lot of us find it hard to figure out the meaning of our life? Maybe the answer to that question would be it is because we weren't allowed to live the life we wanted. Perhaps that answer applies too some people and the rest are wild and daring people who won't take no as an answer and choose to live the life the way they had planned. Putting their happiness as their top priorities thus achieving what they really wanted in life.

Isn't it sad that a some of us would rather stick to the status quo rather than challenge the system? They say be grateful for what you get but what if the things we are receiving isn't measured up to today standards. You tell us to be innovative and creative as the future leaders and yet you tell us be grateful or just stick to whatever out dated stuff you give us. Aren't you contradicting your own words?

Beside that, some of us find it hard to realize the meaning of our life as we are constantly needed to please other rather than pleasing ourselves. You need to please the higher ups people in order to keep your job or studies. You need to please your friends heart cause well they are your friends. With so many people you need to please, who is gonna take care of your heart? 

I'm a Christian actually and I refuse to believe that life has no meaning. Sure some parts of me believe that being born and dying are the meaning of life but but I know there is more to life with God in it. God bear all of our sins and died for us so I'm sure he didn't died in vain. His love for us should be the meaning of life. To love should be our meaning of life. To learn to love ourselves and others as well. 

Amare et amari 
To love and be love. Yes that gives life a beautiful meaning. To love someone and be love. Love transcend time never dying because we know till forever one way or another people will meet and some who are lucky enough might fall in love.

As end to this post I would like to share with you all this bible script about love.

1 Corinthians 13;13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
