INITIAL PERSPECTIVE [draft]

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?
..Initial Perspective..

What is life all about? What is the true purpose of living? How can we live meaningfully? Is that even possible? People live their lives each and everday not knowing WHY and not paying the smallest bit of attention to any of those questions. I think its safe to say that well over more then half of the people you see walking down the street are moving on with their life, day by day with no value or significance about it. Individuals play along the same exact routine every sing day, not taking the samllest advantage of the fact that they could be living their life with a true meaning and purpose. Yet then again, who is to say what is meaningful compared to someone else. The meaning of life is indefinite and extremely vague to me, and has no single or specific meaning behind it, for no single or specific person. The meaning of life is varied for every person, yet for everyone it is all about EXPERIENCE. Life is the journey of creating the very personal best within oneself and to understand both sides of every emotion, situation and moment.
In my eyes, the meaning of life says a lot. It explains one's past, present and future and why it all even matters and occurs. The meaning of life to my understanding is beyond describing, and may or may not be relatable to others for the simple fact that my personal life is not the same as anyone else's. However, in my own opinion, life is the journey in which every individual takes in which they must learn to cope with certain experiences and obstacles thrown their way. My meaning of life is how I handle i situations and how i come out different afterwards. In that sense, i think life is all about change. I consider it to be a big test that has man problems in some parts within it, and it portrays how one has been effected by theym all. Some say life is all about happiness. No doubt about it...that may be apart of it, yet i do not in any way think that someone's entire idea of life should mainly be focused on one's happiness all the time. If it were, than it's pretty safe to say that not a single human being has ever had a purposeful or meaningful life for the simple fact that no person is ever always happy. To be happy, is to be filled with complete bliss and to have absolute joy in all that we do, and from the inside out one would be in high spirits. Life is all about practicing. This idea turns back to the fact that life is not always about being happy. One must have experience in every aspect of emotion. You cannot have one without the other. In order to understand the full effect of being "happy" is to have experienced a not so happy time, where one has been angry or sad. etc. So with that said, how can life be just about happiness?

To do so, many people turn to their religion. THey practice it so that they can basically be a good person so that they end up living a good life. (EXPAND ON RELIGION)

The meaning of life to me is still unexplainable. Even with all that I have said, it is extremely difficult for me to actually define life.
