What is the Meaning of Life?

Posted on by

The meaning of life can be derived from many different aspects of religious and philosophical viewpoints. The meaning of life can also be determined from scientific views on life and from scientific theories on the universe and nature. For example, there are many people who believe that life is caused by chance or luck while others base their view on religion, such as: God, the devil, or some other entity that is believed to exist only by religion. Regardless of the perspective you choose for your view on life the meaning of life will be dependent on what you want it to be.

The meaning of life can be derived from a number of different philosophies including: existentialism, humanism, and secular humanism. The existentialists are those who believe that everything is composed of atoms and that nothing has a separate existence from the atoms that make up the body and mind of that object. Humanism on the other hand, is the philosophy that believes in the value of human life and the happiness of humans as a whole. Secular humanists are those who believe in God, a supreme being that does not have a physical body and acts only via the works or will of an unseen “archy”. In order to answer the question, “what is the meaning of life”, it would be necessary to look at each of these views on life and evaluate which one bestows the most happiness and satisfaction upon human beings. However, there are common elements between all three philosophies that can be used to derive the meaning of life.

The meaning of life can also be derived from religious belief. Many religions believe in the concept of a higher power, a divine force, or an entity that is responsible for the creation and sentience of everything that exists on this planet. Other religions believe in the idea of a divine plan that is capable of influencing the course of future events, but is not prone to change. The religious belief in meaning helps us find meaning in our lives. We do not need to subscribe to any specific religious belief in order to find meaningful lives.
