human asks is “What is the meaning of life?” Fittingly, every philosopher, thinker, and literary wonder has attempted to synthesize an answer. Cliché responses talk about finding love, finding God, or finding happiness. Rarely though, does one hear or read a commentary on life that causes one to ponder.

Back then in the 1960 it wasn’t common for people to…

On the other hand, Huston Smith, author of the book Forgotten Truth, would describe the meaning of life in terms of religion, suggesting life is meant for…
of Ivan Ilyich and Plato were different in the sense that they both valued different things. Ivan valued a life of propriety, or in other words, the “artificial” life, while Socrates spent his life seeking happiness through the pathway of wisdom and virtue. Although these philosophies are drastically different, it is the combination of them that gives my life meaning. Ivan Ilyich lived a life filled with disingenuous relationships, self- interest, and “materialism.” Every decision that he made…
