Do we live in a world that is meaningful and makes sense? I think that we are meaningful human beings who matter to this world. We just may have different definitions or ideas about how significant each of our lives or the world is. If we didn’t live in a meaningful world then what would be the purpose of living? “If nothing matters, how can I matter?”- Tommy’s girlfriend (I <3 Huckabees) If everything and everyone around us is meaningless then life would be pointless. I don’t ever want to feel like I don’t matter. “Everything is connected and everything matters!” it might not always make sense to us but we have a purpose in life. If the world is meaningless then no one would be connected or even care. But that’s not how we should live our lives. We are not alone in this world.

The ways in which we interact with people on a daily basis adds meaning to life so do our experiences and the people we choose to share them with. The people around us and the relationships we have give us a sense of belonging. We might not know all the answers regarding our lives and purpose but living and having a sense of wonder will guide us to those answers. However one chooses to live their lives gives them meaning. We are not separated from life if all things are connected, so it would mean that we are what makes life and the world meaningful.

Without happiness or the value of live would be easy for one to say that the world is meaningless and doesn’t make sense anymore so why even bother. It only becomes meaningless when you give up and don’t open your eyes to what it has to offer us. As long as someone is happy I think their life would be meaningful. Whether it is the happiness we get from within or the happiness we get from others. As long as we value who we are and life itself then we live in a world full of significance. It all depends on our realities and how we choose to perceive life. Meaning in life is the reason why we choose to continue on living, it’s the reason we wake up in the morning and decide to face the day. Without meaning we are lost and our life will make no sense.
