The Meaning of Life & my Philosophy of Life: Even though I'm young and have not yet
reached the prime of my life, I can only come up with one thought of what the meaning of
our lives is. I've thought about myself growing up and moving on through my life,
experiencing different stages and procedures I will eventually go through. I've thought of
everything up to my own death and realized that once it's over for me, life still goes on for
everything else. So what is the point for anyone living at all? If no one in the existence of man
kind could come up with one answer, that could only mean there is either no answer or many
answers. I believe in the idea of there being many answers which all are in each human being.
I believe the meaning to our lives has to be created by ourselves; One answer from each
individual. The answers we come up with may be the result of a problem in our lives. One
might be miserable so they make their meaning to become blissful. Another may be bored so
they make their meaning to achieve excitement. Unfortunately, the meaning of life may not
exist at all for some. A man can choose to drift through life without a care or any thought of
putting an effort towards a benefit to himself or others. Some people may just see their lives
as pointless and feel no need to live at all. My own purpose in life is for myself and my
family. I don't want to achieve anything if it's only for myself but I want to achieve to make
myself feel good and I feel good because my family is proud of what I achieve.
Along with my idea of the meaning of life being dependant on each of us, I hope to live my
life the way I want to live it. I don't want to end up working for something that I don't want. I
don't want to live my life by making decisions based on some factor that I don't have control
over. If I work hard, I want it to be for the people close to me and myself. I hope to be so
successful that I end up completely free from anyone's commands. I hope to have my life
belong to me.
Love: To my understanding, there are many types of love in this world. The one I'm most
familiar with is the love between friends and family. There's something inside us that makes
us drive towards helping and feeling for our friends and family. Then there's the subject of
romantic love which I don't believe in. Some consider it to be a myth with which I highly
agree. That stuff only exists in the movies and in the imaginations of the people oblivious to
what the real world is like. Marriages that are supposed to last until death breaks it apart
break prematurely over petty arguments and mistakes. It's all human nature really. I
understand that this love is necessary for human development. Everyone longs to love others
and to feel loved in return. Everyone is so desperate for love and run headlong into
relationships they're just not ready for. Then it all ends up becoming a mess leading to
people, like me, not believing romantic love to be real. The only love I can be concerned
with is the love of my family friends. I depend on that love to lead a pleasant lifestyle. I
depend on that love to accompany me through the inevitable hardships of my future.
Ethics: If my characteristics were listed and arranged from least expressed to most
expressed, moral would be at the top of the list. In the past, I used to fall victim to the typical
childish dilemmas such as peer pressure and stupid mistakes. I'd let myself get influenced by
my friends and did things that I wasn't necessarily proud of 5 minutes later. Then there were
times when I did things that I thought would end up one way but resulted in a totally different
situation. I'm very vulnerable to guilt. If I do anything wrong at all, I dwell on it for quite
some time. The familiar feeling of guilt the key to my morality and the way I think. If the
situation involves the possibility of someone getting hurt on my behalf, I think things through
thoroughly. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so sensitive to the feeling of guilt. I'd be able to deal
with my problems and mistakes much more easier. I'd spend less time dwelling on the
aftermath and move on ahead with other situations. But if that were to happen, I'd be that
much worse of a person. I'd lose my conscience which is what keeps me out of trouble and
keeps me being a good person.
Evil: When I think about my ethics, I realize it's what holds me back from doing wrong
and hurting others. I don't want to hurt because I'll only hurt myself with the pain of guilt. For
people consumed by evil, they don't feel the things moral people feel. That's where they
draw their strength from. That's how they have the mental capacity to commit the vile crimes
they commit. Within the journal pages of Kip Kinkel were messages stating he didn't feel the
pain of guilt or the joy of love. He said things like "If I had a heart, it would be grey." and
"...my cold black heart has never and never will experience true love.". The absence of love,
like in Kinkel's case, means hate must exist.
Adolph Eichmann's case of evil was greater than that of Kinkel's, in my opinion. He was
responsible for the deaths of millions. All evidence lead to the conclusion that he took part in
the Holocaust yet he denied all of the charges against him all the way up until the point in time
in which he was sentenced to death. When I saw the video footage of his trial and final
verdict was announced, I noticed no expression on his face indicating fear. Eichmann felt no
guilt in what he did, I'm sure. Even in the face of death, he remained selfish and dishonest.
Hope & Faith: There are surely many people in this world that feel as if life has no
meaning. They may realize that we begin to die as soon as we are born and the time we've
been given isn't long. People like this find ways to keep hope and faith in some form to help
them on their journey through life and discover a meaning or reason to life as a whole. Some
turn to religion. Other's set some sort of goal that may or may not be achieved easily. Some
live for others close and dear to them. It takes a lot of courage to put faith on something that
isn't known to actually exist; like heaven and hell. What really happens after you no longer
exist on this earth? What happens to you as your lifetime ends at a certain point in time but
the clocks keep on ticking? I said it takes courage to have faith in the idea of something after
death because, in most cases, one has to devote their precious time to achieve the
opportunity of existing in another place. The whole faith and hope concept ties in with the
meaning of life. If there is no meaning to life, what's there to have hope and faith in?
Success & Happiness: In my opinion, success is whatever an individual makes it out to
be. Success comes in too many forms. For example, money, love and personal standards
and goals. Success can also exist in the eyes of the third person. One may not consider
themselves successful but they lead a life that others may be envious of. Overall, I consider
true success to exist when the individual is conscious of their achievements and live contently
because of those achievements. Success and happiness coincide with eachother. One cannot
be without the other. If someone has excessive wealth but is miserable in every other aspect
in his life beside his financial position, is he successful? In the eyes of a man who doesn't
have that wealth, it may seem so but he cannot feel the misery behind it. I also see true
success as a path leading to one's peace with death.
Death: Death is a very powerful thing in this world. Mainly because it is absolute. It's
nothing one could be uncertain about because it exists as long as time exists and time just
keeps on ticking and ticking away. Death can be feared, embraced, confronted and cheated,
but it finds everyone eventually. I've recently had a relative pass away. It's the first time I've
had someone in my life that knew to have had die. I wasn't close to them really, but their
death only makes me think of who's next. I know it's coming but there's just no way to
prepare for it. The more I think about it, the more it saddens me. I think of the meaning of
life and almost rush myself into finding one because a lifetime isn't much time at all these
days. The more I think about how much pain my other family members must have felt made
me think of what I'll feel everyone I know begins to reach the end of their lives and
eventually pass on. I'm afraid of the pain really. Maybe more now than I'll be later on in life.
When I think about my own death, I'm not afraid at all. I'm one of those people that think
when you die, you're dead. It's only natural for me and my logic. It's having to live on while
others don't that scares me.
Dear generation,
By the time you begin to read this, you're well on your way to the beginning of your own
personal life and I hope you hold on to as many memories before then as you can. By the
time you're a little older, you'll know just how easy life is for you right now. You have
everything to be dependant on. You have almost nothing to do on your own and tha's oka
because there's still room to grow up. For me, it's about time to start worrying about my
future. I'm getting low on time with my place in school and at home relying on others to
educate and support me. I only hope that you can put in effort into all of the work you do.
Your ethics and effort are all you have that are dependant on yourself. No one else can do
the work for you. Life for me now looks like a clean slate, just like my mind was when I was
born. It's ready to be filled up with new knowledge and wisdom only this time, most of it will
come from me and not the ideas of others being taught to me. I've learned that one has to
learn fast in life, otherwise, you get left behind fast. Just try to be ready for anything and be
ready to work. You don't have to like it, but you have to know that it has to be done. The
decision is entirely yours. Just make the one that will make it easier for yourself. Sincerely, Caileigh Kilgore.
