The meaning of life. The answer to this question is often sought. I will not sit here and lie to you by claiming to know the answer. What I will tell you is the stark truth.
A life without meaning is a dangerous situation.
He or she whose life contains no meaning, no reason d’etre, no purpose, tend to be the most dangerous of all beings. What have they got to lose?
Those who have no friends, family, loved ones, or even a roof over their head are one spasm away from endangering others or themselves.
Life is not fair. Life has never been fair. Some people live quite enjoyable lives. Some lived tragic lives. Some live long lives. Some lives are cut short.
I do not mean to rain on your parade, and to be quite frank, if you are indeed parading on this cold, wet Tuesday evening in early April, you deserve to be rained on… Hard.
But reality is reality. What I speak of is the truth. For every smile, there is a frown. For every tear shed, there is a shriek of laughter. Ying and Yang. Up and down. Left and right. Canadian and everyone else.
My point is, try to live your life to the fullest. Remember that whatever situation you are in at this very moment, there are countless others who are experiencing either worse or better conditions.
