What Is the Meaning of Life?

One question I have is, "What is the meaning of life?" To find the answer, I've asked my Creative Think seminar participants to make a metaphor for life. Their ideas can be put into two groups: those that deal with food, and those that don't. Here is the meaning of life.

Life is like a bagel. It's delicious when it's fresh and warm, but often it's just hard. The hole is the middle is its great mystery, and yet it wouldn't be a bagel without it.

Life is like eating grapefruit. First you have to break through the skin; then it takes a couple of bites to get used to the taste, and just as you begin to enjoy it, it squirts you in the eye.

Life is like a banana. You start out green and get soft and mushy with age. Some people want to be one of the bunch while others want to be top banana. You have to take care not to slip on externals. And, finally, you you have to strip off the outer coating to get at the meat.

Life is like cooking. It all depends on what you add and how you mix it. Sometimes you follow the recipe and at other times, you're creative.

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the picture on the front of the box to know what it's supposed to look like. Sometimes, you're not even sure if you've got all the pieces.

Life is like a maze in which you try to avoid the exit.

Life is like riding an elevator. It has a lot of ups and downs and someone is always pushing your buttons. Sometimes you get the shaft, but what really bothers you are the jerks.

Life is like a room full of open doors that close as you get older.

Life is like a puppy dog always searching for a street full of fire hydrants.

Life is like a poker game. You deal or are dealt to. It includes skill and luck. You bet, check, bluff, and raise. You learn from those you play with. Sometimes you win with a pair or lose with a full house. But whatever happens, it's best to keep on shuffling along.

What do you think life is like?

Some time ago, I did need to buy a car for my organization but I didn't earn enough money and couldn't order something. Thank heaven my friend adviced to take the business loans from trustworthy creditors. So, I acted so and was happy with my secured loan.

Life is full of different kinds of meaning things ! If life was meaningness then why are we even living in our life !

God gave up his life because of us. Theres a purpose in each of our life and we have to discover it in our life. It can be many things and it can be everything. We dont know. But we need to live happy every day because life is short and let's make the most of it !!!! God Bless ya !

This is understandable that money makes us independent. But what to do if someone has no cash? The one way is to receive the loans or secured loan.

Great post, I like what "Forest Gump" said in the movie, "Life is like a box of chocolates, You never know what you're gonna get" :)

There isn't one. The real question is, "Why is it assumed that life has an ultimate purpose or meaning?"

Life as aflower,in which our decisions coulers it

[secured loan]

Secured loans are easier to obtain than an unsecured loan because the secured loan lender has the added benefit of security which provides protection. This also means that individuals who are self employed, have a new job or who have very bad credit can still take out a secured loan. They are also useful for bigger amounts of money or where you require a longer repayment period.
