The Meaning Of Life

In the spirit of almost one year of blogging I have reposted my very first post

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

Yet, even with the unpredictability of the ocean, humans will still set forth across its surface.

Therefore, 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, traveling 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, we explorers must, at some point, 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, when the random bump- ups that occur on the surface of life happen, two explorers often decide to explore together and they love. Third meaning of life is to LOVE.

And, also, as is human nature, two explorers sometimes are forced to decide to take separate courses. Sometimes they never pass ways again therefore they must 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 us 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.
