Why Is It Important?

| The search for meaning and purpose in life is an important aspect of life. According to this psychologist, people are always striving to meet their needs.

As humans, it’s in our nature to look for the meaning in our lives. Our minds are very complex and allow us the gift but also the despair of contemplating our existence and purpose in this world. Nowadays, it’s common for us to go on journeys to find the purpose of one’s life and to discover themselves and find direction for their future. In the article “Authentic purpose: the spiritual infrastructure of life” by Corey L.M. Keyes, Keyes explores the reason on why finding a purpose has become so key to one’s health and the different ways that we find purpose in our lives.

Without this, one lacks purpose their life becomes

Developing a meaningful purpose in life, is a very strong driving force that can often be underestimated. Without a purpose, living can easily become mere existence.

Life was created to give living things a purpose. This motive is finding its own

All human beings share the innate attraction to gather in groups and fear alienation. It seems that as humanity has developed, so has our global community. For example, what do modern-day New York and Ancient Egypt share in common? These places represent large gatherings of individuals who came together to find protection and comfort in numbers. However, one downfall to this human instinct is that in many grand communities that span the globe today, the importance of the individual is often lost. Every life is like a drop in the ocean of the earth’s seven billion people. However, I believe a truly purposeful life is one that has carved out its own stream as an individual while also contributing to the larger ocean, its source. My purpose, as

But also in the book it discusses how people do not agree with creating one’s own purpose. They think that if they create their own purpose, then that means that their life meaning is not as meaningful. I do agree with this to some extent but I also think that we know ourselves the best and if we create our own life meaning it can be the most fulfilling. A quote from this chapter is, “What matters is not necessarily what the inventor had in mind, but the uses or purposes the innovation actually has” (p.12). This quote is saying that for example the predetermined meaning of humans is not really important at all. It is what purposes a human can bring about in this world.

If something like an object or living being exists it then has a purpose for existing, but finding out this purpose seems almost impossible. The concept that people live for a purpose is strange, and if so what would this purpose be? A story called The Nine Billion Names of God, by Arthur C. Clarke offers a purpose for the human race to accomplish.

The Question of Meaning/Purpose- (Why does mankind exist? Why do I exist?). We exist because God wants us to have a personal relationship with Him, John 17-3. He, as our creator, wants people to believe and follow in the path of Jesus Christ. God created Adam and Eve and wanted them to multiply. Their result of following orders is the world full of people today.

When people ask what the meaning of life is, they are usually asking an objective value based question. Phrased better: what is the meaning of life, ultimately? But, there are no good answers to metaphysical value based questions. Look at some other value based questions. Why is there something rather than nothing? Why do people have to die? Why does everything change? Why do people and animals suffer? There just simply aren't answers to these questions.

What better way to know if something will work than actually trying it? For most, due to constraints such as limited time and resources; companies and people can’t commit to every idea that comes to them. They have to evaluate the ideas and determine if they’re worthwhile to act on. A big determiner is the question will it work? Now, you can use all the math equations out there, and hire the top analysts and experts to predict if it’ll work. Or you can do a little ooch with the idea and see what happens. While it may sound funny, even childish, ooching is a valuable method for testing our ideas and theories. By ooching the theories with mini experiments, we can gain invaluable information before we commit to the

Many people believe that there is a reason that they are on earth. People think their reason is greater than anybody else’s reason. They think that they are on earth to save the human race. They have huge ideas of how they are going to change the world. Some people’s purpose may not be that big, their purpose may just be to have a child. This purpose that people have is what keeps them going. A plan that they want to make themselves or where they live better. This “meaning of life” is often why people strive to make themselves the best they can be. Even though many people won’t achieve this great purpose they have for themselves, they put in so much effort to try. In the book Man’s Search for Meaning Viktor Frankl’s meaning for life is his wife. I believe my meaning of life is to have a family. Changing ourselves, suffering to get to a goal, multiple people taking blame, and living life to the fullest are some things humans have to go through to achieve what they want.

Everything in life has a purpose for their existence, and each human being is valued for

Since the dawn of human life, people have eternally been searching for the purpose of existence. Humans are innately curious beings, and are blessed to have the capabilities of higher thought processes. Humans use these thought processes to ponder the question of existence. Unfortunately, the evolution of man has not brought the human race any closer to actualizing its purpose on earth. In fact, this issue is such that the more one feels he or she understands it, the more questions concerning it arise. This problem perpetuates itself by the confusion of religion and spirituality, and the roles they hold in society. As the human race evolves, it feels the need to designate structure to its world. As

Has the idea of galaxies lurking millions of light years away undiscovered, ever bother you?How about the fact that fish endlessly swim in the ocean until the day they no longer can swim ?Why birds soar endlessly in the skies for miles, never questioning the reason for their trip. Every piece of matter has an origin, and has a place. Everyday, events unfold, things change, and our atmosphere moves- on the ultimate basis of the process that is life. Man is aware of his presence on earth. But very little does man question his presence. What is our purpose on the grand stage that is life? In order to truly live and to reach the state of unconditional happiness, one mustn’t experience their lives day by day without questioning their
