What is the meaning of life if we already know we have to die one day?

And if we couldn’t die, would we still looking for the meaning of life?

Life is a complex and multifaceted concept that encompasses the existence, experiences, and activities of living organisms. It refers to the state of being alive, characterized by growth, reproduction, metabolism, and response to stimuli.

Life is the journey we embark upon from the moment of birth until the end of our existence. It is a unique and precious opportunity to experience the world, form relationships, learn, grow, and contribute to the fabric of existence.

Life is filled with a range of emotions, from joy and love to sorrow and pain. It presents us with challenges and obstacles that test our resilience, strength, and adaptability. It is a constant process of learning, evolving, and seeking meaning and purpose.

Life is also a tapestry of experiences, both big and small. It is the moments of laughter shared with loved ones, the beauty of nature, the pursuit of passions and dreams, and the connections we forge along the way.

While the meaning and purpose of life may vary from person to person, it often involves finding fulfillment, pursuing personal growth, and making a positive impact on the world around us. It is about cherishing the present moment, learning from the past, and embracing the unknown future.

Ultimately, life is a precious gift, and how we choose to live it is up to us. It is a journey of self-discovery, exploration, and the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment. Basically life is acknowledging the purpose of your existence. Finding the problems that you have to solve to better up the world in any form. Making an impact of what you were created for. Each individual has that unique gift that was planted in them that no other person has and if they have, they cannot do as that person does. That’s why we have different professions, career, gender and many more.

On the issue about death I accept and I know that one day I have to die but before I die I have to ask myself questions like what impact have I left ?what legacy do I have? A prominent actor the late Chadwick Bozeman once said “when I stand before god at the end of my life I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say I used everything you gave me.” Death should be a daily reminder to each living creature that as long as they wake up they have something to fulfill. Life is counted in days not in years. Each day before you rest you should probably ask yourself what impact has my existence made in this day. We should not fear death. Life begins where fear ends. Moreover, in my culture death is not the end; it’s more of a stepping off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you in a green veld where…you can live forever.

And if we couldn’t die, would we still looking for the meaning of life?

Yes. Basically time is moving and we can’t have the same moment again. Imagine the story about the invention of fire. If the Homo erectus wouldn’t take the time to invent fire would we be having fire invented? My answer is a yes, but at what time. If it was not invented at that time it would have delayed other inventions from taking place because human would be busy inventing fire. That earlier invention has given more room for improvement. Nowadays we don’t invent aero planes as the Wright brothers but we travel to space.

In a nutshell whether we die or not we still have to look for the meaning of life. Take an example of two cows; one with a tail and the other with none. The entire two have their means of chasing flees from there body.
