Few things in our existence can be more perplexing than trying to understand, or comprehend, the meaning of life: and in opening it for perusal, I would like to ask the following

Have you ever wrestled with the meaning of life in your mind...?

If so, did you ever come to a conclusion, or possible answer, or did you like so many others have done so before find it impossible to gain entry through the last few doors, and so left the topic, pending, so to speak. If you thought about it, what did the thoughts and images in your mind conjure up?

Was it something religious, spiritual, a familiar locale of helping others, a time when you were sad and wished you could change it, or do something about it now? It's all too familiar, isn't it?

When pondering on this subject many things came to mind, and one by one they were discarded, for they simply did not seem to enlighten the subject. During the process, I came to the conclusion that the meaning of life meant many things, and all were unique in their own ways, and all identifiable with oneself. Therefore, a solution, and it may be a solution, it may even be the correct conclusion, is that the meaning of life, is nothing more than a series of perfect moments.

Perfect moments that when you think back in time make you smile, make you happy, make you sad, moments that you will always remember and never forget. Great times, Bad Times, times when you just stood there struck with awe. Moments that should be lived and relived as often as possible, in order to learn from.

These to me are the true meanings of life, and they are many, and for as long as I dwell here, they shall continue to grow and flourish.

What are your thoughts on this subject, can you add more, have you found other interpretations? Are those interpretations yours alone, or can they be shared by others?

It may be interesting to follow other's thoughts on this subject...
