loneliness and the meaning of life

allow me to now tell you that i think we all get lonelier as we get older.

I think by now some of you would have realised that as we slowly step into the adult world, some more than others, we seem to be well more a person than we used to be. I.e. to say that we are more of an individual. We lack groups to call our own.

Or perhaps it hasn't hit you yet. Which is a good thing. But i know that for some, the realisation that work can just suddenly envelope your entire world is a somewhat worrisome thought, or for others, it comes as a rude shock.

I have found no solution to this problem. If anything i have come upon a new understanding that just baffles me further: a meaningful life

basically i think that the meaning of life is to lead a meaningful life. (barring my religious backing of course).

As long as you are doing something that you are committed to, the side effects and sacrifices will all seem okay! On the other hand, get forced into a position where everything you do is something that leads no where, benefits no one and is all of the sake of nothing and well you start to lose track of life.

So wake up and smell the coffee and roses (though i suspect that together they don't smell very nice :)
Go do something that brings meaning to your life.
