The Meaning of Life Is Simple

You know that really complicated question that nobody can seem to answer? You know, "what is the meaning of life?". Well, let me tell you- if somebody ever tells you that that is an unanswerable question or something, then, well, it's total bull malarkey! It took me a few minutes of thinking to figure out what the meaning of life is, and I shall tell you now. Okay, first I will cover the meaning that applies to all living beings- survival. The meaning of life is simply to survive. Flies are proof of this. They live for only 5 or so days, and all they really do is fly ad survive. The purpose of most living species and things is simply to survive, reproduce, etc. Now, let's look at the meaning of life for humans. The reason the meaning of life for humans is different, is because we have chosen to find purposes beyond survival. And thus, the meaning of life for humans, and other beings like us (to certain degrees), is to survive, and have a purpose, or multiple purposes, in life. And there are many purposes you can have. So whatever purpose you pick, is the purpose that, alongside survival, is the meaning of life for you. For me, personally, the meaning of life is to, through education in topics like philosophy and civics, ensure that the future generations of humanity are responsible, smart, kind, caring, and logical enough to take care of our planet, species, and further development and usage of technology. Ya, it's gunna be a super hard feat to achieve, but I will be able to do it because I see that nobody else is going to, and that I have the talents, experience, and most importantly, determation, to do it.

Passion Is A Roaring Flame

All my life up until this year, I have tried different styles, different ways of living my life, different goals, to find what was right for me. But none of those styles or goals ever stuck for long. Why? Because they didn’t have passion behind them. And passion is what drives us to do what we do best. And to those who do big, great things, passion is a roaring flame that drives them to do great things. And that roaring passion takes anything in it’s way, and turns it into even more fuel. This year, I have found a goal, and a lifestyle built around it, that I am sure will stay with me until the day I die. My goal is to change the world, and not to a small scale. I want to make a difference, and a big one, and change the world on a worldwide scale. And the roaring flame of my passion can’t be put out by even the biggest of challenges, for with every challenge, and every day, it strengthens, and grows. And I believe that almost everyone out there has an untapped passion, waiting to be lit, and fueled. And I believe that if I keep on challenging my skills and talents, training them, and sharpening them all my life, starting now, I will eventually have the skill it takes to set aflame the untapped passions of millions of people, passion to do what they can towards a good goal, and not only keep the flames from dying, but strengthen them, until millions of people are contributing towards making the world a better place, by doing what they can. I believe that I will be the candle that sets the other candles ablaze, and lights up the world around it. My passion was set ablaze by the hatred of what makes me different, and causes me and my friends to be discriminated, and face many hardships nobody else has to face. The hatred of that has sparked the flame of passion toward making the world a better place. When that passion flame was just sparked, I just wanted to make people around me happy. And as it grew in strength, I wanted to end bullying and make others happy. Then the fire found tinder, and I wanted to make people happy, educate people, end bullying, and be a gentleman. And at this point, I want to change the world on a big scale. I can only imagine that by the time I can achieve my goal, the flame of my passion will be more than a flame, roaring like a lion and powerful like a raging grizzly, but grow to be not a flame but a tornado of fire, growing with everything in it’s way. Over the course of my life, things will change. Sad and exciting things will happen. But one thing that will never change is my passion. And when I die, my passion will inspire others to change the world as well, and carry on where I leave off. I will bring honor to my family name. So wish me luck.
