The Meaning of Life

It is up to each person to discover their own meaning. 

The quote I chose argues that each individual must look within themself to find meaning. In order to find the meaning of life, a person must look within to find meaning. Then take that meaning and apply it to their life and the way they live. 

I really don't think there is a meaning to life. I feel like we can sit here all day chasing our tails like dogs trying to figure it out but at the end of it all, I don't think there is meaning to life. Like Camus said, humans have this want and desire to put meaning behind everything because in our eyes everything needs a purpose. We need motivation for completing something and to know our actions mean something.

 While I don't think there is a meaning to life, I think there is a purpose that every individual choses to live for. A subjective, personal and case by case different meaning.  I think the so called meaning of life is to find what life means to you individually. What means the most to you and is the thing you want to live for. Rather it is to be happy, find oneself, or love, the meaning of life varies. 


Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
