The meaning of life has been debated since man was created. Many philosophers have published their views and beliefs throughout time. Similarly, every ordinary person at one time or another has undoubtedly pondered about life, its meaning, and our purpose. In this essay, I will delve into my views on the meaning of life, my purpose, morals, truth, and many other age-old topics that continue to be undefined. I will include the beliefs of great philosophers such as Socrates and Sarta. Then, I will compare and contrast their thoughts to my own. Finally, I will conclude the essay with reflective thoughts.
             In my mind, the meaning of life is broken down to one simple word: love. From the moment a child is born, to the funeral ceremony when they die, there is love. When a child is brought into the world, it is held by loving arms of its mother. Also, the doctors and nurses that love their job are there to assist the process. Love is not just something shared between humans. Love can be for a pet, sport, hobby, religion, or place. Love is everywhere. If a person goes a lifetime hiding from love, and never giving love, what have they accomplished? If a person refuses to love, then the people they interact with suffer as well. Love can be shared in so many ways, and in each way, people benefit. It can also be shared in a way that people share love for the same thing, and thus are connected. Receiving love from another person in any fashion is fulfilling and satisfying. Therefore, passing along love to another person should be commonplace to a reasonable, caring person. Love does not have to be given through poems, diamonds, roses, or ceremony. It can be a simple hello, a hug, a smile, or a high-five. Love is so wide-spread that people don't even realize it sometimes. Examples such as a love for wine tasting, a football team, another person, a special place, or a type of music can all be extremely satisfying to share...
