Meaning for Life

Many existentialists believe in absurdism or the belief that life is absurd.  For me, Life is not absurd because we are here to live life, experience, learn, enjoy, be happy and leave a good example for future generations.  For example, I get an education everyday by going to school and it helps me to live my life in a good way.  I think life does have a purpose which is to live it the best way possible and make the best out of it because if not then nothing would matter.  For example, we can decide to live life in whatever way we want, you can live in a positive or negative way, is in every individuals decision.  I don’t think there was a purpose to life before I got here because nobody knows how we got here; we create our own purpose to life when we are living it.  For example, my personal goal is to be the best person I can be, helping the environment, volunteering, etc.  I don’t think that you will wake up one morning and just know your purpose to life, the best thing you can do is to set a high personal goal to yourself.  Without a purpose or meaning to life I think that there could still be or not be a reason to live because people should just do what they feel like doing.  For example, someone might think there is no meaning or purpose to life but they might still have a reason to live maybe for the people they love or they may just live life day by day depending on what their issue is.  It does matter if whether or not there is a god or some higher all-powerful all-knowing force that created and controls the universe because I believe god is the one that gives us strength to keep us going on with our everyday life.  For example, I pray to god everyday so he can help me achieve my goals and to give me strength to continue with my life.  Questions about death or anything related to it are the questions that nobody knows, but I believe that when we die we unite with god because that’s what I been taught by family and church.  For example, there has been many proofs about this, like no dead men has come to resurrection and told us what he experienced.  If I knew I was never going to die one day, I would probably live my life different because it wouldn’t matter what I did with my life and I would never have to worry about death.  For example, I would do whatever I want and would be happy forever with no evil ever bothering me.  I believe it is possible to create our own meaning for life because you can create your own way to live your life and just work for it.  For example, I can make my life as happy as possible depending on my path and the things that I do.  If I could create my own meaning or purpose to life it would be to be loved, succeed, and obtain everything I want.  For example, I would have everything I desire and would have no struggles at all.
