Meaning of Life.

The Meaning of Life

What really is the meaning of life?".
What is it to exist. What is our
purpose on earth ?. Big questions
with big answers.

The meaning of life as we believe.
Is it derived from relating to
understanding and living the dream.
Whatever the dream is. I have no
idea. So to speak.

Or just being at the moment and
also is it about religious
contemplation. But what if you
are an atheist and do not believe in
no god.

Does that make a difference?.
Is it about value, ethics, money,
how you live your life. Is it about
wellbeing, your spirit, soul, wellness.
Is it about caring,  sharing, giving in
this universe.

Is it about value, ethics, money,
how you live your life. Being human.
So many questions. So many ways to
look at the meaning of life.

I ponder. And I think. And am overwhelmed.

Nice poem, definitely thought-provoking. Have you ever noticed that the greatest fanatics don't have any beliefs of their own? They are always quoting rules coming from somebody else. I think your poem points out some very poignant questions.

We give purpose to the things we use or need . Nature need's a conscious
life to give it purpose. Enjoyed the poem.

Great Dee. I think unless you are religious and your religion does your thinking for you we are all overwhelmed by the meaning and purpose of life. The fundamentals are, we are born and then later we die. The in between is the tricky bit and my belief is there is only any purpose that we fashion for ourselves.
So don't worry -just enjoy it while it lasts.
Cheers,

These are questions that we have been searching for but never know the answers to. You wrote this very nicely. It gives us all something to think about.

Damn, this hit me hard all over again because I always ponder on these questions;
"What really is the meaning of life?".
What is it to exist. What is our
purpose on earth. Big questions
with big answers."
Its always pondered, Of course finding the right answers aren't easy even though people give life meaning, truly doesn't know where it all came from..etc.. Reminds me of how I question everything due to my Sociological aspect - and philosophical perceptions.
"I ponder. And I think. And am overwhelmed. " Love this poem,
Its quite a teaser to the brain, to only someone open to thinking beyond the box.
Greatly inked, I'll be looking forward to more of your poems.. -Amy
