What is the meaning of life after all?

Which are our biggest problems?
Fear to fail? fear of death? fear of
solitude... ?
So what is the real meaning of life?
Stop being scared? Learn how to be stronger? Exceed bad moments to appreciate the good ones? Unconditional Love?

Bonjour Fred, je pense qu'il n'est pas dans notre éducation d'accepter la mort et de la confronter, notre relation vis à vis de celle ci est trés ambigue.Tous ont peur également de la solitude mais ne veulent pas se l'avouer, l'hêtre humain n'est pas fait pour être seul,quand à la réussitte alors là on touche un problème de notre époque,toujours envie d'alller plus loin etc... mais comme on dit "la peur n'évitte pas le danger" donc il faut foncer.
Ma philosophie au sujet de la vie, c'est que chaque matin , je me réveille et suis en bonne santé, car nous savons tous qu'un jour ou l'autre la mort peut taper à notre porte , personne peut y échapper.
Je pense que l'expérience de la vie nous ménne à être plus fort encore et encore, nous apprenons chaque jour avec nos propres erreurs ce qu'est la vie et nous permet d'y faire face et de réagir.
Souvent notre cerveau fixe et enregistre le mal, fait abstraction de bons et simple moments de la vie, mais quand nous nous rendons compte il n'est jamais trop tard pour bien faire. Mais le plus dûr c'est de faire un travail sur soit, accepter son "moi" et accepter l'autre avec ses différences etc.......
Je pense que tout est inconditionel dans la vie.

I know the meaning of life....

We're here to remember who WE TRULY ARE, that's all...

Everything in between is just the Cosmos inviting us to decide who we want to be in a particular situation. Once we get closer to who we are, everything around us will reflect that truth. That's why there is an important word to retain in the whole process: INTEGRITY. That means to think, talk and act coherently, the way we know reflects who we truly are.

In theory, there is little to add... in every day life, this is presented as an on-going exercise (or shall I say adventure...?), in which we educate our egos to serve us, instead of being at their service ourselves...

The previous comment shows us a good point. In my opinion, Ego is influenced by the image we want to transmit. Is it really necessary to overwhelm it? As everything in life we need to find stability and Ego also has to be stabilised. How do we make it possible? Everything has two sides. If our Ego is very high we have to understand that we are not perfect and if we are depressed, we need to embrace our qualities. The virtue of life is founded in the middle. How do we do it every single day? Just practice and never give up. One good way to succed is looking at the mirror and talk to yourself as you were somebody else.

Our Ego can be our best ally or our worst enemy...
I'm not saying erase your Ego... I'm saying, get to know it... embrace it, be proud of it...
Ultimately, that knowledge is the only thing you have on your side: next time you want to analyse something you said or a specific behaviour you had, because of your self knowledge, it's easier to know where your Ego ends and your "altruistic" self begins...

(I'm also not saying that the opposite of Ego is an altruistic self... I just didn't find a better word...)

Therefore, I believe that the key words are: self analysis!

You can reach that balance you were talking about if you know yourself... truly know yourself... what makes you act, react, attack or defend yourself.

The saddest thing is a person that acts in a specific way and doesn't even bother to understand why... 'cause it's too much trouble, 'cause it hurts, 'cause it's painfull...

Well, I say, better out than in, don't you think? If you're not on this world to know yourself... than, what do you think you're here for?

I couldn't agree more. Around us we can see everybody complaining about how unlucky they are. In my point of view, we are lucky to be here in first place. For me there is nothing greater than being alive and appreciating everything around me like the simplest things such as the wind in my face.
However, it is very important to remember that life is a cycle and at any time problems will appear again. Never take anything as guaranteed
