A philosophical inquiry about the essence of life
The question of why we exist is a lifelong puzzle, surfacing in youth and at significant life junctures.
The central idea: existence comes before our ability to question it, making the answer to “Why do we live?” elusive.
Continually pondering existence can lead to negativity. To lead a fulfilling life, we need a change in perspective.
All living beings, from insects to humans, exist because they were born, without questioning. The key question becomes: “How can I live happily?”
Avoiding the burden of uniqueness and unrealistic expectations is vital for happiness. Our lives are not inherently more special than nature is.
We are not exceptional; we are vulnerable, enabling a genuine connection with the world.
As life’s masters, we have both responsibility and the right to shape our happiness.
Focus on “How can I live happily today?” instead of dwelling on “Why do I live?”—the path to a fulfilled, meaningful life.
In the end, it’s about embracing the gift of life with joy and gratitude.
