What is the meaning of life to you…ANGELINA?
(ANGELINA-twin sister)
-creating
:life
:technology
(evolve our lifestyle)
-education
-happiness
-it is possible that someone is always happy (state of mind)
-Being happy with yourself, not what you want to do
-not letting others effect you will get you happiness.
-religion holds you back: pulls you back from doing what you want to do in life
-people follow their religion because they are in fear
-everyone can live their life the way they want, not necessarily to strive people to be a “good person”
-religion has rules
-society has to do with when someone is happy, sad, or mad.
*bike example*
-to be happy in all you do…to be the highest of you

*If someone is not living their life the way they really want it, are they living meaninglessly?
-everyone has a purpose, just because they may not be living the way they want, does not mean they don’t have a reason to be living
-living as practically robots




What is the meaning of life to you….DAD?

To create: we are spiritual 3 part beings: body, mind, spirit.
We are here in the physical dimension to create, through our: thoughts, deeds, actions.
We are creating to re-discover who and what we are.
We are divine beings endowed with the essence of the creator (God)-the source is which everything evolves
“the essence of God is everywhere”
We are living through out creator, and its his way to experience his magnificence through us.
God lives through us all and everything that exists.
We live to be able to find what is best for us through EXPERIENCE
Each choice we make represents God.
To create whatever it is we wish to be.
To understand who we are in our own experience
What you choose to be is the way you live your life...and why u choose to be that way is the meaning and purpose behind it.

What is the meaning of life to you.…MOM?

Is about LOVE. Finding people who are compatible with you. U can enjoy each others company, and relate to one another. Be happy most of the time. Although there is really no true happiness, having sadness, building relationships, and understanding. That’s a question I’ve always wondered. There’s no right answer for that. NOT BEING ALONE. Religion has a lot to do with it. Life and living is a mystery.

Life is good,…life is bad…life sucks. Life is wonderful.

NO ONE KNOWS THE ANSWER FOR WHY I AM HERE.
**********************************************************

After taking in all of this information from this survey, it became difficult for me to do a thorough analysis of the data for the fact that it was hard for me to find a way to organize all that I have collected. I had to be able to categorize and group up all of these different types of answers. Being that this question was basically open-ended, and was not multiple choice, the kind of answers I received had a very broad variety. Each person had a different interpretation of what was being asked, so to have to put a limit on the sort of answers I read, just so I can classify and arrange them, in my opinion, perhaps took away from each individual’s reason for their answer.
