“Life is without meaning. We bring meaning to it”
— Joseph Campbell
Simplified Meaning:
Life on its own doesn't come with a built-in purpose or plan. We are the ones who create purpose by the choices and actions we make. Think of life as a blank canvas. If you want to paint a beautiful picture, you need to add colors, shapes, and designs. Similarly, through our passions, relationships, and actions, we give our life meaning. For example, if someone loves helping others, they might choose to volunteer at a shelter or become a teacher. This brings fulfillment and purpose to their life. So, instead of waiting for life to hand you a purpose, actively find what makes you happy and pursue it. By doing so, you turn an otherwise meaningless existence into a rich, meaningful journey. This approach helps make each day significant and rewarding, no matter the challenges.
