The meaning of life

The meaning of life 13 6 14

He spoke of what the meaning of life meant to him to the room full of people. What are these to you? Family? Friends? Love? Do you know what these are for me? He said with a sly smirk. They are the three things that give me the drive to live. They are the things that make me who I am.

Firstly is to laugh. We always need to have fun he said. Without laughter life would be a bore. We need to be happy. It is important that you are not resentful of the life you live. The choices we make help us to decide on our happiness. The audience looked up, he had their attention. Number two is to cry. Yes to cry he said. A girl in the crowd looked over and wondered as he looked her straight in the eye as he said these words that her troubled soul had cried many nights herself to sleep. The man then said we need to cry to feel emotions, happy or sad. This helps us to feel our souls emotions. The third thing is to be yourself. Never try and be someone you are not. Be authentic even if people don't like it. You will not be content if you are not true to yourself. The important thing here is that these are my three things which are the meaning of life to me. Everyone has their own things that are the most important things to them.

A boy looked up from the crowd and put his hand up. The man looked over and pointed to the boy. Sir I'd like to ask why you think there aren't more than three things that are the meaning of life. The man looked over and said 'some people only might have one thing' but I have three, you might have two. The audience listened to the mans  response and were confused. He sensed the confusion in the air. People the reason I am telling you this is because the meaning of life is not love, money, career or things that always come and go throughout your life. These things can be there one day and gone the next. The answer is for you is what is it that moves your soul? What is it that is true from your heart? For me it's laughter, tears and authenticity. The lesson here is to make sure that your life is full of these things or what's important to you in life that is free and makes you the person you are.
