What is the meaning of life? Why do we exist?
I was asked these 2 questions for so many times by one person, probably nearing to thousands of times, that I nearly gone insane.
- What is the meaning of life?
- Why do we exist?
At first, I answered respectfully as anyone will answer any question that was thrown to them. But, it did not satisfy the questioner and he kept asking, and asking and asking until I just told him to shut up. *I think he is under some depression mode*
Can someone help me to answer both the questions?
I believe once you achieve something that is important in your life will make your life meaningful. But what is it that you want in life? I answered him, happiness. If I could achieve happiness in life, that would be a meaningful life to me. And, then he asked, what will satisfy you to achieve your happiness? That is where I am lazy to answer as this will take too much of my brain cells and saliva wasted to explain. That depends on what are your goals right?
Why do we exist? Lao Tzu preached that we exist to sacrifice for other beings, and that is the purpose. I have no idea how that was derived to give a meaning of why we exist in this world. Do you? And, I do not know how to answer to such question!
Will someone help me to answer? Please help me to help answering my friend!
