Notes de l'éditeur
- \n

- I enjoy finding the positives in every situation. I’m also very curious and enjoy learning new things. I question everything and finding answers is very interesting. In college, I plan to major in psychology and I believe that finding the meaning of life would help to give me a better perspective on things.\n
- This is a poem by Walt Whitman. He says that in life one should “contribute a verse”. I hope to be remembered for something important when I die, I want my life to be meaningful. I want to leave my mark on the world.\n
- Science describes life with three main characteristics: randomness, reproduction and evolution through natural selection. Randomness is the beginning element of life. Chao describes how randomness is a part of the definition of life, however not everything random is life. With more evidence, reproduction is the most popular definition of life. Lastly evolution through natural selection is the most significant aspect of life. This is very important because without adaptations, we would not be here and our lives would have no purpose. \n
- John Stewart describes the meaning of life on a much larger scale than many have truly contemplated. Stewart explains how the entire universe is slowly evolving in many stages. Just like Darwin explained through natural selection, some organisms will continue to evolve and go on to further stages while others are eliminated. But how does this describe the meaning of life? We are all a small part of the trajectory. Our purpose is simply just to make the changes in the universe that are necessary to help it evolve.\n \n\n
- This is just a very interesting quotes and this shows that life itself is very meaningful and important. Not necessarily the things within it.\n
- Gianluca Di Muzio who stated, “life is indeed meaningless without God”. He explains that without God, there is no divine plan and without a divine plan, life has no meaning or purpose. In the Christian religion, love is supposed to be the path to Heaven. In the article, it is stated that, “our entire meaning of life is to love God with our whole heart”. \n
- Judaism is very similar to Christianity and Islam. These three religions all use each other’s beliefs similarly with slightly different variations. The purpose of life from a Jewish perspective is to do good things that God would approve of in order to reap the benefits of His reward.\n\n
- The god of this religion is named Mohammed. Islam is based on Christianity and Judaism because Mohammed was not impressed by the monotheism so he essentially put his own twist on these religions. The holy book is called the Koran where Jesus, of the Christian religion, is recognized, however not as the Son of God. In this sense, the meaning of life from Islamic perspective is to practice good faith and good works in which case the fate-deciding Allah will save them. \n
- Buddhism originated from a man named Siddhartha who sat under a tree for seven days for meditation in the attempt to reach Nirvana. To reach Nirvana, one must free themselves from impurities and haughtiness of the world and focus on being holy. Siddhartha became Buddha after achieving enlightenment. His teachings are supposed to help to end suffering and achieve happiness. Therefore the meaning of life from a Buddhist perspective is to be happy and separate from the impurities of the world.\n
- This religion is practiced with the holy book called the Veda where many gods are worshipped. It is believed that when you die, you are reincarnated in some form whether you become a plant, animal, human or god. Karma determines what you will be reincarnated as. Good deeds will lead to good karma and similarly negative actions will lead to bad karma. The main goal of a Hindu person is to reach the final redemption and merge with Brahman.\n\n
- This quote is also very important. From a philosophical view, life has a different meaning for everyone.\n
- The explanations have 3 main points of view. One being, the meaning of life is to find the meaning of it. Another view is that the meaning of life is to achieve self-actualization. On the opposite end of the spectrum they say there is no purpose for life, you simply live to die.\n
- Maslow created this hierarchy of needs which is basically a list of things you must achieve in order to reach the peak which is Self-actualization. Physiological needs being food, water, shelter and things of such. Safety needs which is health, resources, employment and so on. Social needs being friends, family, and relationships. Esteem needs are confidence and self respect and respect for others. And finally there is self-actualization where morality, spontaneity, lack of prejudice and acceptance of facts comes in. Basically human development.\n
- Let’s say you don’t agree with any of these explanations, maybe life is just an illusion. Maybe there is no such thing as life. What are you doing? Deep thinking. How do you know this isn’t all just a dream.\n
- For my application, I wanted to donate money to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This is a foundation that helps children with life-threatening diseases or conditions to make their wishes come true, no matter how big or small. The little girl who was sponsored by my fundraiser as well as Amanda Metricarti’s is Raven who is four years old and wanted to go to Disney world. I thought of this because in many religions, good works is part of the meaning of life. Also, I have seen many fundraiser and such for this foundation and I think it’s a wonderful thing.\n

- \n
- In conclusion I found that good works and good faith is a good way to find the meaning of life. Also from the Buddhist perspective, finding happiness and eliminating the impurities... basically living life happily to the fullest and making the most out of every thing.\n
