what is life about?

A fantastic thing to explore, but sadly it is not the same with everyone. Though I have loved what I was, I am satisfied with what I am

A series of challenges that each of us face individually. We are judged by how we come through them. And as you get older you get better

A story that you get to help shape

A thing that we love. A mixture of ups and downs. We throw [away the] downs and take [the] ups. It's not a bed of roses, in failure we learn a lot, in success we learn how to achieve success. Its full of many things but in the future life becomes good or bad but we decide

Experiencing everything, everything here is temporary and changing. My favorite and least favorite thing is that things are temporary. Experiencing temporary things that constantly change. It's like a giant big creative project

Following my faith

For me it's about love and family, meeting people

For me it’s about following those passions. One of them is helping others. It's hard to keep yourself happy at the same time. Life is about staying alive

For me it's been about three things, have fun, learn continually and to try and make a difference in others in some way or showing people that there's another way

From a Christian perspective, in my personal faith the main goal is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. To love people sacrificially

Human connection

Human understanding and mutual love

I ask myself that a lot. Being a momentary or fleeting speck in the universe and maybe contributing to it in a positive way and leaving it in a better place because you were here

I don't get it

I don't know

I don't know how to answer that. Doing what you want to do and being what you want to be but not in a way that makes you forget about other people's feelings

I don't know, just enjoying it I guess

I don't know what life is about

I don't know what the purpose of life is

I don't know what to say

I don't know what to say, If people receive they say it's good, if they don't they say it's bad

I don't know, I feel like it could be about a lot of different things. For me now- I just graduated and traveled all summer so now it's still about adventure and also planning a job and career. Things you didn't think about before are now more important, that will change even more too

I don't know, Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

I don't know, those are bigger questions than me

I really don't know. Wherever it takes me

I suppose really, doing onto others as you want them to do to you, the golden rule. Live life to the fullest without hurting anybody else

I think it's all about family. It all comes down to family. My goal was to make life better for each generation

I think it’s not always about happiness. It’s more about trying to live life to the fullest

I think just living it to the fullest

I'm not really sure yet but I'm excited to find out. Maybe it's finding your own special place in the universe where you matter

I’m not sure in all truth. You always hope there’s some greater truth. I would love to think there’s an afterlife where there’s justice and joy. But I’m not sure. For me trying to have a good life and make a difference in people’s lives

I've left some children for posterity on this earth. It's just about enjoying each day as it comes and thank the good lord that I'm here. If I can touch the lives of people with my wisdom I'll leave them my experiences in life

I've never thought about that...Committing mistakes until you get it right, just learning

If I can make my fellow man happy and share what I have. I don't feel I was put on this planet to do harm

If there isn't transcendence, there isn't meaning. Searching for transcendence

Impact and happiness and love is a huge part of life too

Improving women's and girls educations

In general success and being happy doing what you love and want to do

In India, it's very dangerous and serious. Always worrying

In my feeling it's having fun. Enjoying what you have and making the best of it. Flo [partner] and I like dancing and having fun

In this day and age from a practical perspective, coming to terms with what it all means. I think it's about experience and community

Interesting

Involvement and Improvement

It makes me a fulfilled person

It means you scream

It's a beginning of what's to come

It's a gift

It's a mixture of joy, sorrow, challenges

It's a struggle

It's about candy

It's about enjoying the beautiful moments

It’s about finding yourself and realizing the power you have and the things that you can give others, enhance others and improve others

It's about love because without love nothing else keeps you going. With love you learn to give it without thinking twice

It's about making your own meaning

It's about your life

It's an adventure where you go and acquire rich experiences

It's full of happiness and sadness. Even if we fail we can try again and shouldn't get sad. We should try and get to the top and respect elders

It's a gift from God

It's very simple, it's about being happy and bringing happiness to others

Joy

Just a story of you

Just being here

Just to be happy. A lot of people are too upset for too long of a time

Letting go

Life for me is enjoying and absorbing everything it means to be human. Taking full advantage of what I can see, feel, touch and experience. Taking full advantage of what you have

Life has a lot of ups and downs but its more about family than anything. They teach you how to deal with ups and downs and love you unconditionally and hopefully will be around you until your dying day

Life has its ups and downs and thank God we don't know when we're going to die or what we're going to do next

Life is a miserable one

Life is a stage, a drama, we are the players. It's like a race

Life is about answering questions

Life is about basically progress, no stagnation

Life is about love and living. Gotta love life and live

Life is about love, about shared experiences with others and doing something that makes a difference

Life is about making the world a better place than when you got here

Life is about managing difficulties

Life is beautiful

Life is enjoying yourself. Make the most of your life

Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, it is sometimes smooth and sometimes rough. We should take life happily

Life is life

Life just is

Life must be so happy even though it is both happiness and sadness. We should think in every step of our life to make things happy and to make ourselves better. We want to be rich not in money but in loyalty and friends. We should think not only about ourselves but other persons, parents, friends and neighbors, they are also human being

Living

Living, being happy, being sad, change, love

Living, love and having fun

Living fully in the moment

Living in the moment. And how you deal with your problems

Nature

Never ending journey of discovering yourself and overcoming. Like the saying- Success is not measured by what you have but what you overcame

No freaking idea. As you progress through life. It's like being an expert. The more know the less you know. No idea. I'm proud of the fact that I have no idea. Hopefully future generations will figure it out. Some of the climate crisis can help figure it out more. It's been about consumption. Resources don't seem limitless and it could be an interesting moment to see life is about survival

Not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself

Not being dead

Not taking life for granted, living

Nothing, it starts as nothing and ends up as nothing

Objectively nothing. Subjectively coming to terms that objectively its about nothing

Obviously I don't know the answer. I'll give the easy answer: peace, love

Passion

Paving the way for the next generation, trying to make things better for them in some way

Prosperity

Providing good values and morals

Pursuing things I love but balancing that with my responsibilities as a human, member of a family, member of society. I don't see the pursuit of happiness as a be all and end all. It's a balance of doing things that are good for me and humanity

Really not taking anything for granted. People you love, your friendships, really getting to know that life is bigger than just me

The art of living is the preparation for a good death

The circle of life. You’re born, grow up, start a career, have kids, grow old. Hopefully you did a good job.

The Glitter Free and the iPad I'm about to get

The human experience in general, interaction with others

The journey you go through

The mixture of happiness and sadness

The moment, every single moment. The challenge is to enjoy it

The people you meet and love

There's a lot to it. It begins with loving yourself, learning how to love others, knowing how to love others, How to gain all this knowledge to help you. But lastly its all about enjoying the experience and living the experiences

Things happen, that's life

Thoroughly enjoying every single day whether its a Monday or a Friday

To achieve what we deserve

To become the greatest one among everyone

To help other around me, that's it

To help others and to be happy

To progress and get better

Trying to develop a philosophy of life morally and intellectually and living and acting in any way that positively influences the best in others.

We only have a short time, it's about enjoying it

Well for me it's going to heaven

What is life, there is nothing there

What you explore

What you leave behind, what did you contribute while you were here

What you make of it hopefully joy and doing good for others. Because of serving you reap unbelievable benefits

What you want to do, not what others expect you to do. Try not to let others decide for you. Take the wheel

Whatever you make it. If someone dwells on bad things it will be that. If you focus on good things, life will be happy

Whatever you want it to be about. It's whatever you make out of it

When everything is peaceful and settled, when we have belief, that's what it's all about

When you don't die and lollipops

When you live

Who you are, what you are. How you see things, how you intercept things. What you feel you want, what your aims are
