What is our meaning? What is our significance? We as people can do many things that define us and have great significance. I wonder what our generation's significance is, what our great fight is, what our meaning is in pages of history. The generation from the 1940's had WWII, 1950's had the Cold War and the baby boomers, 1960's had Vietnam and hippies, etc. Everyday, we continue to do things that shape what our meaning is. Every action we take helps define our significance, every decision has an effect.
All of us our looking for our purpose in life, our meaning. One of the most mind boggling questions is what the meaning of life is. What is the meaning of our lives? I think the drive that pushes everyone to go to college is to find that purpose, why when we go and change things in our lives, it to find our meaning. Having a purpose to life is one of the things that people most often go and look for.
Personally, I believe that our meaning in life, by “our” I mean the whole human race, is to further advance our race. What I mean is that every person should attempt to reproduce and keep human beings alive and not allow for us to die off and to create new technology to help humans and the planet as well as keep us healthy through medicine and fix the environment. That is our overall purpose, but every individual is looking for their own special meaning to life, that purpose that we all seek to have our lives have meaning.
That seems to be a very biological way of thinking. What separates us from animals if this is our overall purpose? Surely we were meant to live for more.
ReplyDeleteI dont agree necessarily that we exist exactly to advance our race. We exist to keep our race going, by advancing were making life easier, but i dont believe it is our purpose.
