Just to be honest in the beginning in case I sound like I have completely lost my mind, I have not read Man's Search for Meaning. I can't even say that I haven't finished it, because I haven't even touched a copy of the book.

However, despite not having read the book (because I'm guessing the summary of a wikipedia article given to me verbally before class doesn't even close to count) yesterday's class was probably the most thought provoking, potentially meaningful Honors classes I have been in, and I can't even really express in words why. What I can verbalize, though, is that the idea of the meaning of life is not something I struggle with. I know that my life's sole purpose is to honor and glorify God. The methods by which I am to do this are not always clear, but I have rest and contentment in knowing where my meaning lies. And honestly, I believe that this meaning is the ONLY meaning that will terminate the further search for meaning in one's mind, making it the only true meaning. That is not to say that work isn't important, nor is it to say that earthly relationships are not important, but there is still a level of searching when a person defines his life's purpose by one of these things.

I have wrestled with the idea that maybe my answer is too easy, and maybe there is more to it, but it kind of hit me today: it is not that the answer is too easy. The answer is too simple. It is in no way an easy answer.

P.S. commented on "What is the 'meaning of Life'".
