Random Ramblings

Today I recieved a message from a member of the community who asked me if I could provide some insight on the meaning of life.

I cannot define his meaning of life for him but perhaps he will gain something from knowing what mine is.

The term meaning of life means that which provides meaning to life.

My meaning to life is not as simple as 42. The moment my newborn daughter wrapped her tiny premature fingers around my baby finger I knew that I would die to protect my child, who weighed no more than a pound of butter, if it was required of me.

I don't know if all new mothers feel this immense need to protect and care for their children, I just know that for me that moment was life altering for me.

I believe we can have more than one meaning of life. My God gives meaning to my life and my whole moral background is based upon what is expected of me by God. My beliefs shape the person I am.

My love, my friends, my pets, and nature are all aspects of the meaning of my life.

NOTE: The number 42 is not random. If you have not seen The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, I strongly reccomend this movie.
