The Meaning Of Life

The meaning of life for me is a constant wonder. Life ebbs and flows like the ocean. Some days calm prevails, other days the sea is rough and dangerous, as is life.

Yet even with the unpredictability of the ocean people still set forth across her surface.

So if life can be paralleled with the ocean then that means that all living beings have set out across its surface. Hence, making us all explorers, first meaning of life is to EXPLORE.

Now, if were all explorers, moving about across the surface of life sooner or later someone is bound to get into somebody else’s way. So now, to keep things running smoothly all of us explorers have to compromise. Second meaning of life is to COMPRIMISE.


So we’re exploring, we’re compromising across life.

Well, as is human nature, from time to time. The random bump up on the surface of life. Two explorers decide to explore together and they love. Third meaning of life is to LOVE.

And also; as is human nature the two explorers decide to take separate courses. Sometimes they never pass ways again so they accept. Fourth meaning of life is to ACCEPT.

And as is in all things out here on the surface of life, there are things not known to any explorer. This fact makes them wonder. Fifth meaning of life is to WONDER.

So here we are EXPLORING, COMPROMISING, LOVING, ACCEPTING, and WONDERING. Where does it get us after all is said and done?

As we explorers head toward the end of our journey what do we have to show from all our wonderings. Well a LIFE.

So with that I say the true meaning of life is just to LIVE.
