Meaningful life in a meaningful world by: Hans S. Adarme Personally, I think a meaningful life is a life full of goals. As we all know, people without aims are like ships without rudders. So, to my mind, goals are of paramount importance to an individual. Only by setting clear goals can we produce ourselves to work hard and bring meaning to our lives. Life, an everyday task in which each and every human being participates. We interact, procreate, strive to better our standards of living and look for the answers to questions, which in our society, have not yet been answered. This task which demands our outmost attention and participation is a task in which everyone takes part. Yet we do not know much about it. We do not know the aim of life, how it should be lived, we do not even have a clear definition for the phenomena in which we all participate. There are many attempts to give a definition to life and explain what a good or meaningful life is or should be. To live a meaningful life is to fulfill every dream one person can desire. But to live a meaningful life one must go through trials and tribulations in order to achieve such a high and meaningful goal. One can reveal these trials and tribulations just by living an everyday life wither it be encountering the same moment over again in your mind until one got it right, or if someone took a leap of faith to save another persons life, or if the ultimate trial was presented and a person had to stare death in the face just to achieve a meaningful life. Living a simple but meaningful life is a lifestyle which you must choose to want to have. We must be able to make the choices in life that make our lives relatively simple and more meaningful I strongly believe that what must of us each wants and needs most deeply is health, loving relationships, personal wisdom, meaning, and some sort of career or direction that is fulfilling.
