What is the meaning of life?
When you DON'T know the answer, you go through life searching for impermanent things to dedicate your life to - most often careers, or even kids, politics, etc. Because they don't last forever, the foundation upon which you build your life will ALWAYS crumble at some point. (For example: You can have a career-ending disability. Your kids may have a fatal disease. A grown man with the temperament of a teenager may become POTUS.)
When you DO know the answer, you have an understanding of how to balance your life in a way that appropriately prioritizes the things that matter. The following books and studies are INCREDIBLE resources you can use to help figure out the meaning and purpose behind your life.
Please contact me if for some reason you can't get/afford these, and I will personally find a way to get it to you or buy you a copy with my own money.
