"I haven't really thought a lot about it. Bar that you shouldn't take things for granted anymore and don't procrastinate go do the things you want to do and see the people and places and didn't get a chance to see before this lockdown came in force. And mostly I guess how much friends and family actually mean to me and how much I miss not being able to see them. " Yes same here. I've had a few friends loose people very close to them and not be able to see them. It's made me think how life can change in a matter of minutes. | |||

"Why does life need a meaning? Why cant we just exist? Because it doesnt always make people happy and fulfilled. " Existing can be enough. Too many people are desperately chasing some dream of happiness that they can't ever achieve. The joy of waking up in the morning might be enough for them. | |||

"Why does life need a meaning? Why cant we just exist? Because existing, isn't living xx" That point is moot I'd suggest I dont have or need meaning in my life And seriously I think its rather fair to say I'm "living" I completely understand why some need or want to attribute such concepts However I live most wonderfully without thank you | |||

"Why does life need a meaning? Why cant we just exist? Because it doesnt always make people happy and fulfilled. " Life as no meaning we as human gives it meaning based on our bias and ego. Watch just how your political view shape your life that is survival kicking in. Life just exist, life does not care about happiness and fulfilment. All life form work on one major purpose survival which can be family, friend, clan, religion as long as they share similar belief etc. That's how I will sum up life. But there is a beauty to that, as YOU give life whatever meaning you value if that is companionship, friendship, love of cars, pet, human, chocolate lol etc. Essentially you sort of shape what life is to you once you get over the survival hurdle. | |||

"Yes have been thinking about this. I definitely want to do more for others. Also want to acquire experiences than material goods. I love travelling too. Cruising is my thing for the past 5 years. I would recommend it. You can experience lots of new places and cultures in a short time. " Yes it's the experiences over material things that I think gives more meaning to life...for me anyway. I love vibrancy and life in places aswel as the quiet hidden places it's all a variety of sights and sounds. Ive never been on a cruise but it is something I'd like to try. | |||

"I think at the moment many people are thinking more about the things that give their life meaning to them. I think lots of people kinda go along with the societies expectations of how to live a good life. Only on reflection do we realise that actually that isn't fueling our own fires or passions. For me yes my children give my life meaning as a mother, but mother is one of many hats I wear. I've realised more and more that I don't conform to many stereotypes and only now do I feel OK about that. Currently I'm longing for freedoms and adventures and I'm planning for them. " Yes that's the path I'm heading to. As women we are born and bred care givers and expected to conform to this stereotype. So after feeling like I've given my all to a now stroppy teenager some days I just want to pack a bag and head off into the sunset. And without feeling guilty about it!! So travel and adventure features high on my list of things that will give my life meaning. | |||

"Why does life need a meaning? Why cant we just exist?" The O.P. said meaning IN her life and stressed she wasn't talking about meaning OF life.... I took it to mean that she will value every moment and 'enrich' her life to make it more meaningful to her. She can thank me later for 'telling people what she means' | |||

"Why does life need a meaning? Why cant we just exist? Because existing, isn't living xx Good answer!" Good but incorrect as a generalisation Some people need and want a greater meaning that's fantastic Others their very existence is fantastic to them without the greater meaning | |||

"Why does life need a meaning? Why cant we just exist? Because existing, isn't living xx" Agreed. After I lost my hubby I felt I just existed for years. Was just here for the children, not really living and it was bloody tough. I try to enjoy things as much as possible nowadays as life is too short | |||
