The Meaning of Life by a
secretary of English Literature Department
The
Meaning of life becomes a controversial
issue in our society. In biology, life means moving, breathing, growing and
reproducing. Furthermore, there are alot of theologians trying to give their opinion
about the issue. They write their interpretations in their books. On the other side, Albert Camus quotes “you will never be happy
if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live
if you are looking for the meaning of life”. From those statements, it is clear
that everyone has their own interpratetion related to the meaning of their
life. consequently, it is important to us to find more conciderations about the
issue in order that we can interprate it wisely. Learning from an inspirative
figure is an important way to do.
