What Is the Real Meaning of Life?

02 February 2020 opinion By Raed Al Nasasra Life has different definition in the eyes of different people. There is no a clear cut definition for it. For some, life is all about building a family and leading "life" as it is. For some, life is all about accumulating wealth. For others ,life is all about engaging in academic circle. Still for others, life is all about art. For many life is all about love. For a few, life is all about religious practices. For philosopher like Aristotle life is about happiness: "Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence." Hence life has different definition for different people.

I was sitting in one of the traditional coffee houses yesterday. The quest for the meaning of life crossed my mind and I asked the girl ,who serve the coffee, as to what is the meaning of life. For this beautiful young girl, life is meaningless. I asked her why? But, there was no response at all. She just simply replied life is meaningless. I can see her condition. Despite the fact that she is trying to create her happiness from the sale of a traditional coffee, some constraints did not let her to enjoy life meaningfully.
