Today my challenge was to find the meaning of life by looking it up in the dictionary. I decided to also ask some friends and teachers of mine what their definitions were!
Some great definitions I found were:
"The most fascinating yet challenging story a person can endure, because it can only be written once." -Natalie Taylor, my dear brilliant friend
"The period of active time spent by something with DNA."-the fabulous Hannah Gibson
"The general or universal condition of human existence"-Merriam Webster
"I think life is a series of chances we either decide to take or pass up. For example, right now I'm at school. I could decide to go outside, get in my car, and drive to Alaska (after picking up my wife and dogs, of course). I could find a job on a tour boat, or in a school, and we could live in Alaska until the end of our days. This is an option, always. There are other things to consider, of course, but it's an option.
So are drugs. So is suicide. You can see the good and bad here.
That's why I have no sympathy for people who don't like where their life is. Where you are now is a product of where you have been, and that's a beautiful and complex thing. Where you're going to be is a product of where you decide to go, and that is a daunting and exciting responsibility." -Mr. Hancock, the English teacher I have no words for
"Life: Is living in such a way that you don't have to be famous to be
remembered. Make friends, laugh, cry, get your heart broken, join a
sport, laugh again. Be yourself! Love your family and respect your
friends. Be kind, helpful and thoughtful. Just live to the fullest. Life is learning."-my sweet friend Sammie Ellingsworth
"Life is the ultimate test. You must challenge yourself and push your comforts to reach the summit of existence."-Tarryn Ballard, the one and only
"Life is not wondering what life is, I think. Just accepting everything."-Gaby Escobar who is so in touch with her emotions, love her!
"Laughing, loving, and knowing yourself. That's life, or what I want mine to be."-Josiah Ranger
And my definition was : "Life is an ever-changing process, not an event. It's this collage of all the decisions you've made and people you've met, all the things you've thought. It's meant to be experienced, not observed. It's a collage!"
Was that good? Was it good? What is your idea of life?
