Life vs. Mind


I often wondered about (and worried upon!) the real meaning of life. I endeavored - very hard indeed - to find an explanation to why we are REALLY here and what we are supposed to do to fulfill our "mission". Then I happened to read the words of   the Spanish-American philosopher and poet Santayana: "Man is not made to understand life, but to live it". WOW! That's interesting! Does this mean that I can stop worrying? Is it enough for me to do what I believe I should do, try to be the best I can... and then just relax? What a relief! But I can't help wondering (here I go again!) if it's that easy to just live without any other philosophical concern. Worth trying, though.
