If someone could tell you the meaning of life, would you want to know?

Well we just don’t know. We are all just clueless. We live each day never getting any answers. And we all have these CRAZY ideas that effects how we live our lives. Some people just accept it and don’t care; all they can do is live on. Other people might believe in a greater god and think the meaning of life to get to the greater place. or maybe we all create our own meaning in life.

I overheard someone once say, “What’s the point? We are all going to end up in the same place anyway.” Which in some extend is true. (In a weird way.) Life is dieing, after that is up for interpretation. This is a similar point to Banachs idea, “Our life is a series of meaningless actions culminating in death, with no possibility of external justification.” Meaning, Our life is nothing really? No matter what actions we chose to take it will always end in our death. But wouldn’t that justify us having the freedom to do whatever we want? I would like to think there is some meaning in our lives, that our existence has some kind of importance.

I agree with Banach when he notes that we are contently influenced by our surroundings. People act differently in different circumstances. We constantly play the roles we need to in order to be accepted. Sometimes weather we realize it or not. Because people are effected by what is around them. Although, “After all sources of external value have been taken away, you can find value within yourself.” So, when we eliminate all outside influences what we have left is only our own voice. In other words, the only person we have left to listen to is ourselves.

Is this essentially what we are looking for? The goal? Is that the way to happiness? Is the point of our lives to find happiness? Is that what absolute freedom is? If so, I do not think we could ever achieve it. No matter what opposition we are in, it will always hold some force of pressure on us.
