Imagine you're on a long journey, and someone asks you, 'What is the purpose of this trip?' You might not know, but maybe it doesn’t matter. Life could be like that journey: you don’t always need to know why you started; what matters is how you enjoy the ride.
Some people think life’s meaning is something special, like a secret waiting to be discovered. Others say it's up to each person to make their own meaning, just like choosing your favorite ice cream flavor.
Examples
- Someone gives up a comfortable job to travel around the world, their purpose is adventure.
- A person feels fulfilled by helping others, even if they never become famous.
