Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I was on Gaia towns a few days ago and during a conversation, someone asked me, "What's the meaning of life?" Well, I pondered that, and I still haven't gotten to answer him. Everyone has a different view of life, so I thought I'd share mine.

Everyone has one life. Everyone spends their lives doing something, something that is important to them, something that they were meant to do. This is called "destiny". I think that in life, we all have a destiny that we need to fulfill before dying. After fulfilling that destiny, we die. It may take twenty seconds or twenty years for us to die after fulfilling our destinies.

Life is too short, so I believe that we have to make the most of it. Treasure every moment, even the bad moments, whether someone yells at you or gives you a gift. I think that treasuring every moment will help us live happier lives. Be thankful that you have parents who yell at you, because some children don't have parents. Be thankful that you have brussel sprouts infront of you, because some people would kill to get just one. Make mistakes and learn from them. When someone scolds you, that doesn't mean that person hates you, that person's just trying to be sure that you learn the errors of your ways.

So anyway, I hope that at least some of you read this. I hope that after reading my views on life, you'll reconsider how you live your life. Instead of sitting in your dark room, writing poetry about your sad sad life because you didn't get an iPod, you could stop moping and go out into the world. There's more to life than material possessions. Anyway, if you've read this, please put a biggrin in a comment. No wait, acutally, put a crying
