what the hell does this question even mean
Whats the meaning of life? a very broad and hard question to answer and a big question to everyones thoughts. This question is still hard till this day for every one to answer its alot of confusion surrounding this question. like alot people are trying to find out what their purpose in this life is it to live life freely, take whatever life has to offer, or is there any purpose at all are we here for no reason this question leaves alot of thought Irving Singer makes it clear that people seem to be striving to find the meaning of life for them. However, is it finding the meaning of life in its entirety, or for one as an individual? He also questions whether or not one can even find or suddenly discover the meaning to life, or if it’s something one creates and generates as they go along and make their journey through life. Irving distinguishes what makes the question so difficult for someone to answer, and shows that by the struggle to just simply answer the question, it is in fact not simply done at all. It actually just brings about other challenging and mind blowing questions alongside with the initial one, What is the meaning of life?Philosopher John Wisdom wrote on the meaning of life as well, and provides the reader with the idea that some people believe the question may all in all just be completely senseless. He goes deep into clarifying why people believe so, and demonstrates the difference between interpreting the question by what life actually is, compared to what life gives, leads to, or is caused by. Wisdom broadens our minds with a number of examples to compare the rational question, “What is the meaning of life?” with other nonsensical questions such as, “What supports all things?” and “What is bigger than the largest thing in the world?” Many people categorize all three of those questions to be very much illogical and ridiculous, however, it is made clear that the question of life is not at all absurd even if it sometimes seems so. but the question to me is still a mystery.
