A Better World

Life is a Mission

  • One of the ultimate philosophical questions is – what is the meaning of life? Many answers spring up to mind but in secular and philosophical terms, I haven't seen a definition that is more satisfactory than that of Viktor E. Frankl, he explained - 'what is the meaning of life' is not a question we should ask but one that life posts to us all and the only way we can respond is by being responsible for the duration of time we have before we metamorphous into another state of matter or being. Life is about being responsible, not only to ourselves but also to our communities, our country and the world at large. Life is a mission.
