To ask what the true meaning of life is is somehow uncomfortable.
Life itself doesn't have a purpose; rather, we give life meaning by adding significance to it, which is akin to saying that we give life value.
Sometimes, your place of existence determines the significance of your life; otherwise, there would be no point in living at all.
we can discover this meaning in life
in different ways, But there are three different ways I will show you that work like a charm:
According to - VIKTOR E. FRANKL the Author of "MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING"
1. Making a work or performing an act is the first and most obvious technique to achieve something.
The second and third need further elaboration.
For example, doing work for free for others you're not just doing it for only them but for yourself and also giving your all because
2. encountering someone or having an experience;
The second way of finding meaning in life is
by experiencing something - such as goodness, truth, and beauty -
experiencing nature and culture or, last but not least, by experiencing another human being in his very uniqueness - by loving him.
3. Our perspective on unavoidable hardship.
The third way of finding meaning in life is by suffering.
We must never forget that we may also find meaning
in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation
when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what
then matters is to bear witness to the
uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a
triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement.
When we are no longer able to change a situation - just think of an
incurable diseases such as inoperable
cancer.
we are challenged to change ourselves.
Let me cite a clear-cut example: Once, an
elderly general practitioner consulted me
because of his severe depression. He could
not overcome the loss of his wife who had
died two years before and whom he had
loved above all else. Now, how could I help him?
What should I tell him? Well, I refrained
from telling him anything but instead
confronted him with the question, "What would have happened, Doctor, if you
had died first, and your wife would have had to survive you?" "Oh," he said, "for her, this would have been terrible; how she
would have suffered!" Whereupon I
replied, "You see, Doctor, such suffering has been spared her, and it was you who have
spared her this suffering - to be sure, at the
the price that now you have to survive and mourn her." He said no word but shook
my hand and calmly left my office.
In some way, suffering ceases to be
suffering the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.
Wow! It worth reading nice one . life itself doesn't have meaning we makes life meaning for ourselves
