What is the meaning of life?

This is a question that has been asked for centuries. We are no closer to finding the answer than our primitive relatives of the past. Many people have assumed throughout time that they figured it out, unfortunately for the general population, they were wrong.

Somewhere along the way we forgot what the purpose of this question was. We pushed it aside as if it were unimportant. We modernized, as one would say. We moved on from philosophical questions and narratives. We became a civilization obsessed with capitalism, money, and greed. We focused on surface level objectives, and not the true meaning of existence.

To determine our relationship with the world, we need to go through life with the intention of answering this question. We need to constantly ask ourselves if what we are doing is leading us to the answer to the meaning of life. That is the only way we will live in a world ruled for the people.

Now, I would like to ask each of you a question. What is your meaning in life?
