A well-known quote, and also the title of an interesting book, is: "Every time I find the meaning of life, they change it". What does this mean? First of all, 'what' is the meaning of life? It may be easier to answer about the 'goal' of life. Here you might say that the goal of life can be many different things, that it changes according to personality, age, circumstances, interests, material or spiritual needs etc. But...the meaning? And even if you are clever enough to find it, "who" changes it? Who are "they"? Your friends? The media? Society in general? Or just your partner or your boss? In order to even try to find an answer, you should first discover what Life is - in its very essence. Beside being here on Earth, beside existing in a physical form, day after day - facing challenge after challenge, pleasure and pain, fulfillment and disappointment, happiness and gloom - is there a "real" meaning, i.e. a reason for all this to happen?
