Honestly, in a nut shell, we as humans create thought and everything that surrounds it. The only person that can give meaning to life is the self. You have to find your own reason to live, it's pretty much that simple. The greatest thing some people discover is a legacy, a part of you that will exist after your gone, or some people just live life to the fullest and don't hold back.

There are so many different views though, like if death is inevitable then why hold back on anything, go skydiving or what not, But some people believe that its not worth the risk of there life, something that holds all possibilities of happiness. Two extremes.

The real question should be, when u die, was life worth living?
