Meaning of life â⬠Mind Essay
The meaning of life is a question that is thrown around from person to person asking them what they think. Some people have an idea of what the meaning of life is and other has no clue. Some believe that you just live life and others believe while living life you discover the meaning. During this essay I will be talking about what other people think about this question. When I had a conversation with my father about what the meaning of life is all about he had the same response to the question that basically everyone else had came up with. The one difference that he said while we were chatting was that life is full of choices and decisions. I thought long and hard for a while about what he said thinking that there was more behind it then just what he had stated. What I came up with was that maybe he was implying that what we do during our term of living is what sets up the next thing that happens in life. So each choice that we make is important in that itââ¬â¢s not the meaning of life thatââ¬â¢s so important but the concept of what we do during life is the meaning. Some might disagree and imp still thinking about what my father has said to, but its just another point of view and I have no problem looking at it from a different angle. Another big topic when it comes to the question of the meaning of life is music. Music is a great way to hear what other people and especially artist think about the meaning of life thought their songs. Sometimes itââ¬â¢s hard to hear but if you listen closely there is always a message somewhere that says something about the meaning of life. For example in the song ââ¬Å"I donââ¬â¢t wanna beâ⬠By the artist Gavin Degraw he speaks out about what he thinks about the meaning of life threw what other people are and what he doesnââ¬â¢t want to become. ââ¬Å"Iââ¬â¢m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn Imposters everywhere I turn surround me Iââ¬â¢m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn Am I the only one whoââ¬â¢s noticed? I canââ¬â¢t be the only one whoââ¬â¢s learned I donââ¬â¢t want to be anything other than what Iââ¬â¢ve been trying to be lately All I have to do is think of me and Iââ¬â¢ve peace of mind Iââ¬â¢m tired of looking ââ¬â¢round rooms wondering what I got to do Or who Iââ¬â¢m supposed to be I donââ¬â¢t want to be anything other than meâ⬠(www. sing365. com) What these lyrics are basically saying is that he can see that everyone around him is acting like something that there not. Then he says that he doesnââ¬â¢t want to act like everyone else and not know who he is but he just wants to be he and live life the way he wants to. The next topic that is a good place to find out the meaning of life is the creative minds of artist and there art work. Art work is always a good place to find out the meaning of life because again the artist have a message in there work hidden and you have to find what there saying. The only difference from music is instead of saying the message they paint the message in a form of image weather itââ¬â¢s a paining or itââ¬â¢s a sculpture. There is many ways that you can discover meaning of life. In some ways its not what you find the meaning of life in its more about what you perceive of the meaning of life. When you look at something like a painting or a song what do you think it is trying to say? Does it paint a picture in your head and what does that picture look like? I find that the best way to see the meaning of life is threw movie. Movies are an image of the life that we live but it shows us the true meaning of life in a way that we can all understand. People are blind when it comes to what makes them in this world. In a movie the character is set up to live there life and threw events shows us what makes them unique. In one movie the Shaw shank redemption the main character Andy is convicted for a murder that he doesnââ¬â¢t commit and is forced to go to hail for life. In the movie you think that he has nothing to live for anymore but in a way they present what his meaning of life is and how it comes clear to the characters eyes. The character seeââ¬â¢s that he needs certine things in life to live. Friends was one of the things that he discovered was important to live a happy and full life. Hope is another one; if you donââ¬â¢t have hope then you have nothing to look forward to so then what is the point of living. The main thought in the movie was get busy living or get busy dieing. What this is suppose to mean is if your not going to start living and doing all the things you want to complete in life you might as well start on dieing. The meaning of life is very complex and you canââ¬â¢t always pick up everything that itââ¬â¢s going to throw at you. Thatââ¬â¢s why movies, art and music in around so that other people who think about the topic more can show you there incite. If you listen and look at thoughts things you can learn things that will show you what the meaning of life is or at least what you can do to get started on living your life.
