Meaning of life


The meaning of life, the more I think about this topic, the more complex question it becomes, the more confused I become. Finally, I manage to understand something which I'm not so sure. But it seems reasonable. To me, the meaning of life changes with our life experiences.

In fact, I began to think about it when I was in middle school. At that time, there were not so many annoyances. Life was simple and carefree. My family treated me well except my study which they were very strict with. So the meaning of life is just to get the highest score or become a top student in school.

As time goes by, I knew more and more about life. I slowly began to understand that getting the highest score was not my meaning of life anymore. Since I was a very naughty student, I caused a lot of troubles to my parents. Then I saw that my parents were unhappy and worrying about my future. Although I was not so mature and considerate but I could still feel something. My meaning of life changed. I tried my best to make my parents happy and not worry about me.

After I stepped into university, I was suddenly troubled by something called dream or ideality. I feel the pressure from outside. I worry about what I should do after graduate. Life is not easy anymore. The meaning of life, I know it's as simple as before. But I will find it someday.

For me,now, dreams are dreams, life is life. After bumping head into the walls of reality, I know sometimes meaning of life is just to make my life meaningful.That is all.
