Few months ago Mark Rowlands started writing a book called Running with the Pack which is also about meaning of life. I had commented to his post with one of my favorite quote by physicist, Alan Guth:
"It's ok to ask those questions, but one shouldnt expect to get a wiser answer from a physicist. My own emotional feeling is that life has a purpose - ultimately, I'd guess that purpose it has is the purpose that we've given it and not a purpose that come out of any cosmic design."
That was a very abstract thought but meaning of life cannot be quantified either. Max taught me to life live for the moment but the ape in me longs to find the meaning too. Each one of us can deduce a different meaning through a visceral or rationalization process. But our meanings come together in harmony in only one paradoxical situation. Meaning of life can only be harmonious when we have someone to die for. It's when we not only find the meaning of life but we also get to live that meaning. The meaning of life becomes self-evident when love becomes the purpose of life.
