Meaning of Life

"What's the meaning of life?" I think the answer to this question differs for everyone. But to be honest with myself, even as I finish this post I may not be able to figure out what is the meaning of life. To me, defining the meaning of life is like solving a differential equation that has no result. Ever since I could think for myself, this has been an unsolved mystery.


When I was young, my teacher in my primary school would say that the meaning of life is to “be honest and good”, in secondary school, my friends would say that “live life to the fullest” is the meaning of life. When I join the working society, the meaning of life was “survive is the cruel world”. As I grew older, the list of possible answers got longer, to the point where I can even make an archive out of them. But it still doesn’t answer my question, what’s the meaning of life?


As I continue to learn new things, see new places and meet new faces, I started thinking to myself, what if this “meaning of life” is something that you can’t define, but have to accumulate? Just like gaining experience in a videogame, maybe the answer to this question will only be found when we reach a certain part of our lives?


Having that thought my mind, it suddenly occur to me that, rather than constantly pondering on this question, why not go with the flow? Maybe in the near future, I will be able to get an answer that can satisfy me and the question.
