Meaning of Life

Meaning of life, this is huge. To tell the truth, I have seldom considered about this kind of question in all my life. However, as a matter of fact, I have read a lot of articles about the meaning of life. For example, some people say that the meaning of life is to push yourself to the limit and achieve the greatest goal; that to devote all your life and contribute all you have to make society and the world more harmonic and peaceful; that to come up with the most sophisticated idea or theory to explain all the mysteries around the universe; and that just simply to serve your family, being a respectful wife or husband. Nevertheless, none of these is the one that I am thinking of; they are not yet. I am still young; my perspective will change as my experience grows. Right now, the meaning of my life is to live it alive. Life never tells about tomorrow, we all know that. We can’t see or predict what will happen next. There is too much we don’t know or know about. Uncertainty is alike the shadow, following us all along. Since we are totally blind about the future, why don’t we appreciate what we have right now? If the destiny about people’s life is true, then there is far less what we can do about it, for our fates are already fixed. So don’t look far away into the future, take a look around you. So many things we can do now to make our life colorful. Do whatever we enjoy or entertain us, and do to make full of ourselves. Perhaps there might be a small voice coming from somewhere, saying that this is not responsible for our future; we are too addicted to the current situation. Ignore this; we don’t have to care about it. I am not doing any free-will thing; I just seize every opportunity to live my life alive. Besides, future is the foregoing way of where I am standing now. I am not stepping still; I am stepping forward. Living my life alive, I am making my steps light and joyful.
