Meaningful


Sepoch Is.

I don’t exactly know how to live a meaningful life. Most of the time, I live life without attempting to make it a meaningful one. I don’t intend to live a meaningless life though. I don’t even know if life is supposed to have a meaning in the first place. Don’t we just have to live it?

If there is such thing as a meaningful life, I do have a feeling what a meaningful life isn’t about. I think that telling someone that they’re wrong, punishing them for their mistakes, making them feel like they’re a lesser person for being weak and pointing out that their doom is imminent because of what they did without a sincere concern for them and what they are going through doesn’t constitute a meaningful life.

"Life is meaningful only if one seizes the moment to benefit the
greater good, leaving profound footprints on earth."
Actually, mahirap sabihin if one has lived a meaningful life, unless others say it. But many a man are wanting and searching for it. Lahat naman kasi gustong magkaroon ng makabuluhang buhay hindi nga lang alam kung sa papaanong paraan.

"We live less than the time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity. So it may be asked what value is there to a human life. There is so much pain in the world. What does it mean to have to suffer so much if our lives are nothing more than the blink of an eye? . . .I learned a long time ago that a blink of an eye in itself is nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something. A span of life is nothing. But the man who lives the span, he is something. He can fill that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its quantity may be insignificant. Do you understand what I am saying? A man must fill his life with meaning, meaning is not automatically given to life."

you create your own meaning. imposing that meaning upon others is a clear sign of not having a life at all.
