The Meaning of Life
The meaning to life is simply to reproduce our own species and ensure our survival. But as human beings, we are intelligent enough to see this and this depresses us so we search for a deeper meaning, a meaning that only those with thoughts could understand, aka humans. And some believe that the meaning of life is to find happiness, to live it to the fullest, to find love. They do this just to not accept the depressing reality. Life is depressing, there's no doubt about it but my view on it is that we cling to life a little while longer, searching for that something that makes life worth it, that something that interests us and makes us wanna be alive. Whether that be money, love, sex or Peace, we search for it to bring some meaning into our lives. Because without that something, we'd realize how tedious our lives truly are. I live not because I want to, but because I'm waiting for that something special to catch my eyes
