This answer may contain sensitive images. Click on an image to unblur it.Ahhh.. the meaning of life. One of the most often asked questions and also one of the hardest to answer. My opinion is that its ambiguity stems from the fact that meaning AND life differ from person to person. Each persons conception of meaning is based entirely on their viewpoints of what life is which is derived from the mental constructs they have been creating both consciously and subconsciously since before they were even cognitively aware of this process even happening.I mean theoretically we would have to break down basic truths about life and understand their essences to obtain a true circumspect understanding of life itself to be able to develop a meaning to be able to attach to it.Questions such as, what is life? Is death even real? Do we really even ever die? Unfortunately we can never truly get to the bottom of questions such as these - at least not in this lifetime so I digress to avoid circular arguments.Now, away from the esoteric and to the practical…The meaning of life is easy to miss. Most people go through life passively and never think about this important question, or they think about it too late.How do you give life meaning?First things first, we can either give life meaning or not, the choice is yours. Life's meaning will coincide with your life's purpose. So in essence your purpose gives life meaning and that meaning fuels your purpose. The meaning of life will differ for each person so the key is not to find a generic meaning to life that's applicable to each individual, the key is to find what life means to you individually and then build your life around that meaning. So here's how you do it..How do you find purpose?In my opinion this is one of the hardest things to do and may take a while. This is because you really have to think deeply about your core values and your inner self - something we don't often do. Many times we think of life in terms of what can life give us, rather than what we can give to life. What can people give us, rather than what can we give to others. What can make us happy, rather than how can we bring true happiness to others and to ourselves.In searching deeply inside of yourself you may find that what gives life true meaning actually lies in what we can do for others.Take Quora writers for an example. I can only speak for myself but the main reason I write articles on Quora is to help others through insights I've gained through my distinct life experiences. That is my purpose for writing which also gives it meaning. That pushes me more than “upvotes”, and attention, which are vain and not really fulfilling. Helping others is very fulfilling and I find joy in helping others in the ways that are unique to me. Below are some questions to help you find purpose and meaning to your life.15 Questions:1. What makes you smile? (Activities, people, events, hobbies, projects, etc.)2. What are your favorite things to do in the past? What about now?3. What activities make you lose track of time?4.

What would you regret not fully doing, being or having in your life?10. You are now 90 years old, sitting on a rocking chair outside your porch; you can feel the spring breeze gently brushing against your face.

I hired her.She was unkempt. She smelled really bad. Her glasses were thick and greasy. It had been one year since she dropped out of high school. She was the poster girl for the racist crowd. She had one thing that was stunning: Her application was a piece of art. Her hand writing was sharp and artistic.I spent a minute talking to her. I had ten entry level openings. I lied and said that if something came up I would call. She left. I filled the ten positions. She called me once per week for three weeks. I put her off each time.The fourth week, midweek, one manager said he needed someone NOW. I picked up the phone and told her that if she wanted work, she had to be in my office in one hour. She agreed. She came. I had collected some of our knee length work “blouses” for her. She was caught between tears and giggles. I did a lot of things for her to help her stay clean and well fed. In less than one year she was a lead. In two years she was a supervisor. I was able to get the company to put her through adult school for her high school degree. Five years later, I left the company. I lost track of her. I am not afraid to dream that she is a sweet smelling, proud and loving mother of children as successful as she.Now I am tempted to tell you about how I came to convince the owner of the company to hire a blind man…But my time is up…

When I go out to bars or clubs, my choice of underwear (bra, panties, support garments when applicable) is heavily influenced by my clothing ensemble. I'm not implying that the underwear needs to match the clothing, or even that the underwear is intended to be seen at all, but rather that different clothing fabrics and silhouettes require different undergarments for proper support. The wrong combinations of clothing & underwear can look disastrous.That said, most often, I will go with a panty that is both:made of cotton: because cotton wicks away body sweat and odor better than synthetic fabrics; clubs can be hot and sweaty placesthong style: a thong eliminates the possibility of an embarrassing visible "panty line" on my back side. I don't like to wear thong panties every day, but I do prefer them to complement a tighter-fitting outfit.This example would show my most frequent choice for going to the club.
