Life! What a mystery. I guess we all have different meanings and purposes of our lives, right? I would share my views on this in the #weekend-engagement prompt.
Meaning of life
I presume, the meaning of life is both complex and simple at the same time. I have read different philosophers who have put forth different meanings. Some have existentialism, some have nihilism, some have other views.
Life cannot be meaningless until we live it that Way. It is upto us how we give meaning to our lives. We have to keep looking for it. I think it's more about the legacy that we leave behind by living a life full of vibrance and depth.
Joseph Campbell
Life has different phases and we make mistakes of seeing our entire lives as per that particular phase. For example, if I am struggling with my career, I would come to think that life is the name of continuous struggle.

I would, myself, give it the meaning of living. The meaning of life is ti live. It is as simple as that. We have to make every minute of it count. We aren't sure about the future, we can't do anything about the past, all we have is our present, so living it to the fullest is the name of life.
My purpose of life
I am a teacher. Since my childhood, I had found muse in Sharing my knowledge with others. This is one thing I am good at. I'm still young and there are many areas to explore for me, but I believe that for now this is the purpose of my life. I love enlightenment of the ignorant minds.
This makes me happy. Perhaps, I would leave behind a legacy of a good teacher but who knows what future holds for us. I might go on and become a graphic designer or for that Matter a politician lol 😂
If I were to simplify the purpose of my life, it would be to learn and grow through different phases and stages of life. This is what matters. Moreover, I also believe in contributing to the growth of others. My role as a teacher is my contribution to the society.
Thanks everyone for reading my blog. Your meanings and purposes will surely be different. Share yours in the comments so that we get to know each other 😊
