Does a meaningful life give us real fulfillment? Is there anything as such as satisfaction, permanent satisfaction in life. Those gifted souls who willingly embrace death when their mortal body is on the verge of doom give me strength to ponder on the meaning of life and death. To analyse or think about the uncertainties of life amidst all the ruckus indeed helps us get a grip on the road we travel. To be aware of the journey and the destination keeping the smile alive is the key to peace, now and after, if there is an after indeed.
Read a nice piece on the importance of choosing a meaningful life over a happy life. A survivor of the world war 2 after losing all his family members, this Doctor advised a meaningful life of giving over a happy life of receiving only. All relationships except the one you have with your inner self will be shed along the way. Our Vedas say we have to shed ourselves too. Will we be ready to give up our good name too at the cost of preserving our inner self, when calamity strikes us as it always does periodically? Some of us choose the giving way while some of us choose hibernation. Every once in a while when the thirst for life eludes us, I think we need to pause to redefine our moment of meaningful happiness according to our individual nature in every stage of life.
