Which is the meaning of Life?

I think today I’m waking up more philosophical. So, walking through the forest I’ thought: Which is the meaning of life?

When contemplating the meaning of life, most people instinctively reach for a religious perspective. The idea that mankind was created by God illustrates that we are not alone in this universe. The same concept that made us relate to the idea of life's origin also makes us yearn to understand its purpose. Essentially, mankind wants to know- 'what is the meaning of life?'

Inspired by the Greek platitude 'to live is to fly,' many people believe that life is about living life to the fullest. In addition, many others believe that life is about finding love and happiness. Interestingly, interpretations of the meaning of life vary with age. Young children have a simpler outlook on the subject since they have yet to make many decisions. As we grow, our outlook on life's purpose changes as well.

In addition to human thoughts, scientific data provides insight into the meaning of life. For example, the universe is immense and likely contains life beyond what we know. In addition, human DNA is similar to animals in the animal kingdom in that it exhibits consciousness. When comparing these perspectives, it appears that mankind has an innate desire to understand what its existence means. From religious beliefs to scientific data, mankind has come up with many answers over time.

Interestingly, different cultures propose different ideas as to what the purpose of human life is. Some propose that human existence has no meaning at all; this view is commonly held by atheists and agnostics. In contrast, religious views tend to emphasize the positive aspects of human life. According to the Bible, mankind was created by God and has a purpose in His eyes. Jesus's teachings heavily emphasized love and forgiveness, which have become cornerstones of modern religion.

Essentially, mankind wants to know- what is the meaning of life? From philosophers to poets, many have come up with lofty thoughts that can help us gain insight into this question. Based on human thought and scientific data, mankind seems to naturally gravitate towards religious interpretations when contemplating the subject. Ultimately, mankind wants to know- how did everything came to be? What is the true nature of human existence?
