What is the meaning I wake up every morning, the meaning of my life?
That...that is a surprisingly tough question. I guess the reason I get up is simply because I want to live my life, because I want to get decent grades in school, get a good job, get a family and all of that jargon that makes up the "perfect" life. There is no true meaning to my reasoning towards my meaning of life, there is no deep, hidden, insightful meaning like to spread world peace or to wipe out famine through the use of genetically engineered crops that I created. Nah, the meaning of my life is simply to live it out, to get as good a grade as possible in school, to blitz through college/ university, to get a great paying job, grab a family like I'm the Grinch at christmas, settle down and retire blah blah blah. All that other stuff about spreading kindness and love just sorta happens along the way I guess.
Basically, for me, the meaning of my life is to live, pay taxes, breed and I guess have fun? Not very deep, not very disturbing, not very emotionally moving. Just plain old boring really. And now, because I want to, I will answer those lovely questions.
What is the reason you wake up every morning?
To go to school, to have fun, to simply live and experience the theme park ride that is "Life".
What makes you want to be alive a week from now?
Well, I'd be pretty pissed if roughly 10 years of school work was wasted because I spontaneously died. I guess what makes me want to be alive in a weeks time is just the simple ideal that I want to live my life like any other human being, to have fun and what not. Not to drastically change the world and neither to sink into the mould that we have made for ourselves but to just live life and be myself, which I cannot do if I'm dead.
What, if taken away, would render your life unbearable?
Well, freedom of course. If you were to take away that then my life would no longer be mine and would therefore be redundant and unbearable.
What, if given to you, would render your life worth living?
My life is already worth living but if I had nothing to start with then I'd have to say that compassion since it affects people so deeply and, along with wanting a decent job, it is one of the key factors towards why I drive myself so hard at school. The care and comfort my family has shown me throughout the years sort of pushed me towards trying to better myself so that their work was not in vain. Also, I wouldn't say no to heaps of money.
Do you even value your own life?
Yep. I don't really want to die at the moment since I think I will become so much more then I currently am. Then again, I wouldn't be overly sad if I was definitely told that I would die in, say, a week because to me, over my 16 years of life that I have currently lived, I have done exactly as I wished to, I have had fun and done wonderful things and gone to great places. If you told me I was set to die soon then my immediate thought would be that I have lived my life perhaps not as well as others but as well as I've wanted to live it so far. I do value life but I would not run from death when it came for me, no matter when or where.
