I was thinking about the meaning of life. One life-changing book for me, was called Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of life. So I asked my teacher to read it to our class. It was moderately long, but worth it. At the back, the author put some questions. The one my teacher asked us to respond in our notebooks was "Why do you think it's important for people to find the meaning of life and what do you think the meaning of life is?". I never really thought about that until I read that book. This was a long time ago. I remember writing a page full. I volunteered to read it out loud to the class. This is what it said.
"I think why it's so important for people to find out what the meaning of life is because they would want to see why they're here. When they search, it could take them on an adventure and learn what the meaning of life is in other people's perspective. It would matter a lot to them. I remember what Mr. Oswald said (Mr.Oswald is a character in the book.) "The more it takes for you to search for something, the more satisfying it is when you find it." I think the meaning of life is to discover. to take ourselves on our own journey. To have fun. For some people, the meaning of life could mean a lot to them, for others it might not matter. Different perspectives that you hear and put together becomes the meaning of life. When you learn things about yourself, you notice more things in life and worry less. Once you accept something, life could be a lot more easier. We're all different in ways we cannot comprehend. We are all meant to complete each other, like a huge jigsaw puzzle. I've never really thought about the meaning of life till I read this book. "
I think what I should have said is, "The meaning of life is whatever you want it to be." What do you think the meaning of life is?
