It has always been my philosophy that the meaning of life is different for everyone. Each person has their own personal meaning of life, their own reason for living. Some people live to be successful, some people live for their family. For me, I think the meaning of life is love. Simply to love and be loved, sharing this bond with only one other person and no other. If you are like me, once you have found that one special person in all the world, you can be happy forever because you have fulfilled your meaning. Once you love someone, and I mean truly love them to the extent that you can see yourself spending the rest of your life with them and can't imagine it any other way, you can't take back that feeling. But what happens if the other person decides not to feel that way? The first thing it does is it hurts because you aren't loved any more. To love and to be loved are the greatest feelings in the world. To lose either of those feelings is like ripping someone's heart out. Then, since you can't stop loving that person, there's no way for you to move on. You are forced to go through life loving this one person, but never receiving any love back. Your meaning in life, you're very reason for living, is now completely crippled at least until you can find someone else who could accept the way you feel and love you enough to try to help you. But yet another question: What happens if some accident, misunderstanding, or problem is caused by you (even by accident) that hurts the one you love? What if they hated you for it? What if they told you they love you but at the same time they can never forgive you for what you did and they keep telling you over and over how much it hurt them? Well, if all that happens, you would become afraid. Afraid of loving anyone else out of fear of hurting someone you love ever again. If you hurt this person, what's going to keep it from happening again? The only way to prevent it is by never falling in love again. Since love is your reason for existence, yet you can never love again, you no longer have a reason to exist. Your life is empty and meaningless and always will be. With no meaning, with no reason to exist, then why persist in doing so? ...Good question... I hope I find an answer soon or I might just accept that there's no point in being alive and bring an end to a this life that is now meaningless...
