The recent
events of my life have once again driven me to seek answers to the unanswerable
meaning of death. Asking one to answer a
difficult question such as, "What is the meaning of life," can very
often have a negative impact on a psyche.
In my own life, I have found that reflections into death still offer
uncomfortable answers.
Since I found
that the world I was raised in did not offer environments conducive for
discourse on the subject of death; consequently, I feel it is my obligation to
advance my proposed ideas on what such an environment might look like. I think that an environment that promoted
discourse would be one that promoted questions that did not always have easy
answers.
As humans we especially
do not like admitting that we are ignorant of anything which carries importance
to us. I find that being honest to one's
self is the first step towards creating the right environment outside of
self. When a person is in the right state
of being then they can begin to make progress towards living a more fulfilling,
understanding, and aware life.
I believe that
as humans we would be wise to do a better job of talking about these types of
deeper issues in our lives. The model
that I propose to use in this case would be one driven towards discovery
through the odyssey of life.
The odyssey of
everyday life does not cause many people to stop and think about the greater
unknowns. During the course of a hard
worked day we tend to forget all of the great mysteries left to be solved in
our vast universe. If we think about
life as a way to experience that mystery then I feel people would be more
inclined to ponder the greater questions of life.
This unknowing
nature of life introduces the power of imagination, creativity, and discovery
into our daily lives. I love getting up
each morning and realizing that I will find something new today that I possibly
had not experienced yesterday. I also
love looking at all of the possibilities of each moment in the day there
are. Our mind truly cannot grasp how
great all of these possibilities really are.
These types of
revelations have helped me to feel reinvigorated in my life. I now feel like living each day as if it were
the only day I had been given. My
greatest hope would be that other people could experience this same kind of joy
that I have been fortunate enough to feel over the past few months. Enjoy the journey!
