Is Life Meaningful?

Questions came to the unconscious mind and were rejected occasionally. Until those
minutes of perplexity were repeated oftener and oftener. Answers were demanded
more and more persistently.
Let the indisposition pass, but the questions will come evidently until you have no
choice at all. Until you get tired andfind an answer for it. nevertheless, those
answers you found are nothing, merely simple that wouldnt suffice your own
understanding.
Life for some people are finding pleasures and getting all what you want. People
around the globe seek for every thing that will make them happy. This includes
material things, jobs that will let you earn money, and pleasures that will give you
satisfaction. But do these things give us satisfaction? Do these things constitute life
making it meaningful?
Making life meaningful is doing what can make you happy. Making life meaningful is
doing what interests you most. Making life meaningful is living in such a way as to
derive the greatest comfort for oneself and ones family. 1 These are some views of
people on how life is meaningful for them. As years passed, as they continued what
they love, certain questions arose on why they are doing these things. They began
to ponder if they are really doing the right thing. They began to think if only
pleasures constitute life. But looking on the other side of the mirror, meaning of life
can be seen with two bipolar things, happiness and suffering.

Rational thinking will not answer this question for it only comprises reasons. It gives
us finite answers but not actually answering the real question, Is life meaningful?.
It only gives us a lot of reasons as an answer to many questions arising but not
necessarily giving an exact one on what will happen in your life. It is because
finding if your life is meaningful requires experience and faith. You have to live and
find it by yourself. You have to live and look for it naturally. You have to observe
humanity on how they perceive their lives meanings. You have to believe, establish
an institution of faith in yourself that will guide you, making your life meaningful.
If you really want to live and understand the meaning of life, you ought to naturally
look for it, not among those who had lost the meaning of life and wanted to kill
themselves, but among those men who had been struggling to live out their lives
despite of the tragedies and problems they are carrying. The mere fact that they are
still standing, unlike those people who had given up, shows that they had found out

their purpose and their lives meaning. Surprisingly, these people didnt
experienced much enjoyment, rather a lot of pains and sufferings. Still, they are
able to manage their lives, therefore, making it meaningful.
As faith was generally understood, faith was the knowledge of the meaning of
human life. Having faith within yourself will not let you destroy yourself, therefore,
letting you live meaningfully. A man living meaningfully believes in some things,
believes that he ought to live for some purpose, and understands that the world he
is living is not merely an illusion but a reality. In other words, he must possess a real
knowledge of faith. First, faith that he is living in a real world. Second, faith that all
things around him are real. Third, faith that God is true and that God shaped his life
as meaningful as possible. And lastly, faith that you will endure all the hardships,
thereby, living it to the fullest, making it meanigful.
