Comprehending Life

Life. What does that word mean? / Does that word ever has a meaning?

It depends on the way a mind thinks about it. Or, Is Life a series of coincedences? Complex patters of thought? Or Nothing?

Well, In my opinion, Life has a meaning when somebody thinks they have to accomplish something.

What if that someone finishes the work that they have to accomplish?

Then, Life means nothing coz we cannot find a good reason to live on. To move through the never ending days of same work and people. If you can find a reason to accomplish everyday you dont have a problem to live.

Let me attach an excerpt from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

"Well, why don't you go to Mecca now?" asked the boy.

"Because it's the thought of Mecca that keeps me alive. That's what helps me face these days that are all the same, these mute crystals on the shelves, and lunch and dinner at that same horrible café. I'm afraid that if my dream is realized, I'll have no reason to go on living. "
--- The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho.
