Meaning of life is vast and voluminous. It will not fit in to sheets of paper. Life is interpreted in million ways. The term holds different meanings to different people. There is no single definition to life. They are countless. Situations, circumstances, environment, etc gives meaning to life.
Basically, living defines life. As long as you live, there is life. You cease to live, life is non-existent. This is an undisputed truth. In other words, it is the philosophy of life. This is the root of the meanings and interpretations.
Man is a social animal. From time immemorial, he always lived in a society. This society is made of his kind and himself. His very own society framed rules and regulations. Man lived within this framework. Even today, it is carried on. Some may call this a constrained living. Restricted freedom kills charm of living. This is not life. Then, what is life? A million dollar question!
Besides a daily routine and two square meals with no other activity demeans life. Life loses its meaning, absolutely. One single day in our life is devoted to the welfare of fellow human beings will make us understand the essence of life. Now on, it is meaning of life, according to me.
Self centered and selfish life has no meaning. Rather, it does have meaning; it is I, me, and I….!! Life is living for others. Help the needy; their progress gives meaning to your life. Giving emotional and physical support to old and sick people is a meaning by itself. The satisfaction derived gives a different interpretation to living. Destitute homes and orphanages shake our entire system. ‘Each one adopts one’ will work wonders on those ‘less fortunate’ lives. Seeing them grow and live in the main stream of society will make you proud. Our lives achieve a new hall mark in its meaning. Last but not the least, as ‘charity begins at home’, so is service to humanity. Begin with your own family and start building extended families and serve them too.
As mentioned earlier, living gives meaning to life. Life by itself has no identity. Quality of living determines its meaning. Meaningless living has nothing to offer life. Living with a good purpose gives a goal to life. Life cannot have a better meaning. Service to humanity gives the best meaning to life.
