Life's Meaning: an Age Old Wonder

TL;DR = connection fuels purpose within all circumstances.

Purposeful Introduction

For this post, I want to post a bit of a philosophical piece.

In the question of life’s meaning, the answer hides the purpose for why we tend to feel life is worth all the tribulation it entails. This basic philosophical quest begins with the standard inquiry of a common philosophical wonder: life's point. There is no unique melody in this quest for purpose. This inquiry, answered earnestly, is merely a guide for why I live. Within this poem, I seek to give clarity to the answer, by making art of my viewpoint for life's meaning.

Question Explained

“What is the meaning of life?”

This quest is for
the summit of reason
for why we exist on earth.

The stakes are planted high
for my grave of doom
to evolve into a garden of hope.

For –
within my uglies lie truth within purpose.
We burden ourselves in labor
as society breaks to its unholy state;
all within its current version of a hole.

Question Answered

Life means agape;           that kind of tenderness.
Also -              if we have love in light
for a worthwhile series of tasks,
we discover purpose.

Passion leads to self-truth,
& in that     is the heart of meaning.
Life comes with no gap in the connection
we need to hold in beings we love;
& in being with our individual love
of our passionate interests.

An instance to take is not
necessarily romantic happily ever afters.
It is in my writing habit,
many flowing streams of words from thoughts.
It is in the composition of enthralled work,
that I am kept intrigued by various wonders.

Full Circle Conclusion

To conclude - life’s purpose is in the truth of connection with others & with our own personal passions. A youth fountain can be unearthed by discovering your passion, & following it with time & effort. Additionally – I recommend we further the bond between ourselves & other like minds who share our interests. This is a worthwhile way to build connection. Overall – we must weave our thread among seams of awareness as we learn what works best in maintaining connections to our passionate purpose, & with those of which we share connection with.
