Essay About The Meaning Of Life

The meaning of life What is the meaning of life you might ask? Well there is no answer life is what you make it. So for me life is to just live and die plain and simple. As for those that think the meaning of life is to be happy, well it sucks to be them because life as I’ve experienced it is definitely not a walk in the park. You’re going to have your shitty days, week, or sometimes even months where you’ll have nothing but shit to deal with (not to say that we don’t deal with shit on a daily basis.) So life to me is to do something with your menial existence. Think of it like this if you work as a janitor your whole life, but you’ve raised a successful family that’s doing something with your life.

Experiences don’t stop. That’s life.” This is another thing I want to bring up. Back in high school I was a totally different person and I remembered asking my father as a kid what the meaning of life was. He replied saying “what’s the meaning of life? The meaning of life is to be successful.” The way he repeated the question was more like are you seriously asking me this question, And the way he said to be successful made me feel like shit because my father always had extremely high standards for me and so I never felt like I was doing enough if that makes sense at all.

I have nothing to my name that gives my life value. hell I don’t even care if tomorrow was my last day if I had a child that would be a different story.

For example my father wants to buy me a new car but I want something older and more basic. So if he gets me the new car I’m going to hate it making me ungrateful, but on the contrary I want something basic which in turn would make me humble. You see my problem here that’s the thing with the meaning of life if you put a lot of value on stupid things like cars, clothes, shoes or rims I hate to break it to you but you’re delinquent and materialistic. With that being said you’ll never be happy for the simple reason that there is always going to be something new coming out. So what is the meaning of life? Well life is what you make of it. You could be the guy who doesn’t experience life itself and rot away, or you could be one of those guys who
