Meaning of life? - Sapere - 07-30-2026
Simple question isn't it, yet seems complex.
It depends on the context - your state of being. The question sits at the core when you go down to it.
- If you're struggling - then it's to overcome challenges.
- If you're comfortable financially - then it's family and experiences.
- If you're lost - it's to find yourself.
There can be many variations of the answer, depending what you're ready to receive.
But simply put in the eyes of science - humans are mammals with special abilities - intellectual and physical. At the core, we're meant to have family and share experiences and skills to gain advantage over peers to survive/thrive and outgrow.
In the modern world, surviving is assisted by organized economies (not ideal, nonetheless very advantageous to be part of). But with development of the internet and technology, it throws us off a bit. Some of our abilities are hindered due to our own neglect. While some cultures "exploit" economies to take over countries by out-populating native people.
Have you found the meaning? Where do you want to make most difference?
