Many people have sought the answer to the ultimate question throughout the ages. Some of these people were believers, and some were skeptics.
For believers, it’s fairly uncomplicated. You have a formula, you have mythologies, you have your holy books, your saints and faith. But what, asides from science do the others have?
I want to know what the meaning of life is. Not the “purpose of life,” for that is too bound to a textbook response.
When it comes down to it, is meaning something we have to come to terms with collectively? Is it determined at the societal level, as different cultures view the worth of life and death in a different light.
