The Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life? Without doubt, this is one of the most challenging, and yet one of
the most fundamental, questions the mind can the meaning of life? Without doubt, this is one of
the most, consider. People throughout history have pondered the purpose of life.
Philosophers spin theories. Poets write songs: Young people drop out of society to "find out what
it's all about." Older people may remain within the "establishment," but they still wonder.
Obviously life is real. No one can deny that the world exists and people exist. You live, eat,
sleep, breathe, and move. But do you understand why you exist? Please consider with me the
challenging question of life. What is it really all about? To answer this question, we will look at
the views of philosophers, theologians, students and others.
According to how Heidegger understands "whole", Dasein is to access itself as a whole, or be-a-
whole, by turning itself into not-Dasein: Dasein would have to be something at the end of Dasein
(man) in order for Dasein to be a totality-that is, in order for Dasein to be finished off or closed.
And what is this not-Dasein other than death for Dasein? In death, as Heidegger explains, Dasein
suddenly becomes "no-longer-being-there;" something other than Dasein (in German,
literally"being-there") which used to be Dasein.Indeed, it is then that Dasein becomes a totality
in our sense: Dasein is a totality if it is no longer something that was indeed Dasein. That is, if
Dasein "was" -if it is.no longer existing-it indeed can be said to have existed, and this existence
must have formed some type of closed-off structure that we could call a whole. Thus, what we
are ask if Dasein can be-a-whole seems to be something immensely contradictory: whether
Dasein can exist, as Dasein while not existing as Dasein; whether we can live as Dasein at our
death, or "be-at-the-end." This is obviously impossible.

Is the meaning of life internal to life, to be found inherently in life's many activities, or is it
external, to be found in a realm somehow outside of life, but to which life leads? In the internal
views it's the satisfaction and happiness we gain from our actions that justify life. This does not
necessarily imply a selfish code of conduct. The external interpretation commonly makes the
claim that there is a realm to which life leads after death. Our life on earth is evaluated by a
supernatural being some call God, who will assign to us some reward or punishment after death.
The meaning of our life, its purpose and justification, is to fulfill the expectations of god, and
then to receive our final reward. But within the internal view of meaning, we can argue that
meaning is best found in activities that benefit others, the community, or the Earth as a whole.
It's just that the reward for these activities has to be found here, in the satisfactions that they
afford within this life, instead of in some external spirit realm. Various people have this to say on
life's meaning.

"Meaning" is a word referring to what we have in mind as “signification", and it relates to

intention and purpose. 'Life' is applied to the taste of being alive; conscious existence. Mind,
consciousness, words and what they signify, are thus the focus for the answer to the question.
What seems inescapable is that there is no meaning associated with life other than that acquired
by our consciousness, inherited via genes, developed and given content through memes (units of
culture).The meanings we believe life to have are then culturally and individually diverse. They
may be imposed through hegemony; religious or secular, benign or malign; or identified through
deliberate choice, where this is available.
To find meaning in life is a better way of approaching the issue, whilst there is no single
meaning of life, every person can live their life in a way which brings them as much fulfillment
and contentment as possible. To use a utilitarian language, the best that one can hope for is a life
which contains as great an excess of pleasure over pain as possible, or alternatively, a life in
which as least time as possible is devoted to activities which do not stimulate, or which do
nothing to promote the goals one has set for oneself. -Steve Else, Swadlincote, Derbyshire
Life is a stage and we are the actors, said William Shakespeare, possibly recognizing that life
quite automatically tells a story just as any play tells a story. But we are more than just actors; we
are the playwright too, creating new script with our imaginations as we act in the ongoing play.
Life is therefore storytelling. So the meaning of life is like the meaning of "the play" in principle:
not a single play with its plot and underlying values and information, but the meaning behind the
reason for there being plays with playwright, stage, actors, props, audience, and theatre.The
purpose of the play is self-expression, the playwright's effort to tell a story. Life, a grand play
written with mankind's grand imagination, has this same purpose.

The Origin of Life

Where did you come from?
How do you explain the origin of the human race? Since we are alive, it is natural to wonder
where we came from. One reason many people are confused about the meaning of life is that
they do not understand the origin of life. To know why we are here, we must know where we
came from.

Many People Hold Mistaken Ideas about the Origin of Life
A commonly accepted explanation for the origin of life is organic evolution-the hypothesis that
man evolved from "lower animals" which in turn came from simpler life forms, all the way back
to the first microscopic life, which sprang accidentally from non-living matter. But this theory
has major problems.
Where did the first living thing come from?
What caused life to begin where there had never been life before? Science repeatedly
demonstrated that life comes only from life. This is a law of science called the "Law of
Biogenesis." The opposite of this law

Where is the evidence that all modern kinds of living things came from an original kind?
Living things can adapt to their environment, but where is the proof they can develop into
entirely different kinds of organisms such that all kinds came from one original kind? Years of
human experience and scientific experimentation confirm that living things reproduce "after their
own kind". The offspring of a fish is another fish, not a snake, bird or man.
Scientists have searched for years for the "missing links"- fossils of organisms that were halfway
between the kinds of plants or animals we have now. Millions of fossils have been found around
the world. If evolution is true, there should be thousands of fossils of missing links, but there is
no evidence of these remains anywhere. Why not?

Why is man so unique from animals?

If man evolved from animals and is really an animal but just slightly more complex, why do we
have characteristics so vastly different from animals?
Why do people appreciate beauty in art, music, and poetry? Do animals create new paintings,
sculptures, symphonies, and books of poetry that they and other animals can enjoy? Why do men
have a conscience and a sense of morals? Why do we feel guilty when we have done wrong,
even when we have not been caught or punished? Do animals naturally possess these spiritual
qualities? Why do only people wonder about such issues as where we came from? Do animals
debate even such issues as creation vs.evolution? Why do we possess rational thought so much
higher than animals? We can find minute variations in degrees of "intelligence" among animals,
but there is a vast gulf between any animals and man. Men build machines and tools to work for
us, train animals, use fire, perform mathematics and scientific calculations, read and write, and
pass our knowledge on to others.

Consider the Bible Explanation for the Origin of Life

Genesis 1:11, 12, 21-28
All kinds of life were originally created by God in six days. God is an eternal, living, all-wise,
all-powerful Creator. (cf.Exodus 20:11; Hebrew 4:4)
Instead of life coming from non-living matter, life came from life--the eternally living God.
Living things reproduce after their own kind, because God created them that way. And man is
unlike the animals, because he is "in the image of God". We did not evolve from animals, but we
share God's nature.

Many People Are Mistaken about the Purpose of Life
This is one consequence of evolution. If organic evolution is true, then there is no purpose in life.
Life is an accident, and people search in vain for any meaning to it. So many concludes that there
is no higher purpose than to make life enjoyable for themselves and others.
Some pursue riches and material possessions
They believe material things will make life happy and pleasant. But then they always want more:
a bigger house, newer car, nicer clothes and furniture, etc. They are never satisfied.
All people need some materials goods, but is this the highest goal of life?
Some pursue pleasure: entertainment, recreation, travel, etc.
Their goal in life is "fun, fun, fun, “wine, women, and song"(or "drugs, alcohol, and free
love")."Be a party animal." “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die." This philosophy is
emphasized by modern entertainment. It is the beer-commercial mentality: “You only go around
once, so reach for all the gusto you can.""It doesn't get any better than this." One of them even
names its beer "High Life." But does life really not have any better purpose than to booze it up?
Many modern entertainers have achieved “the high life" to the ultimate but are they happy? If so,
why are so many of them plagued by drug and alcohol addiction, divorce, mental breakdowns,
early deaths, and suicide? Is that really a satisfying life?
Some pursue education
They want to accumulate knowledge and worldly wisdom. Like the Athenians, they spend their
time in nothing less than to hear or tell some new things. In all areas, there may be some
wholesome activities that may have some benefit. But is there really no higher goal in life than
these? Whatever benefits the activities provide are temporary and incomplete at best. No matter
how much you have, you always want more.

The Bible Teaches the True Purpose of Life

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11;12:13,14
Some people experienced every enjoyment of life that others pursue: wealth, pleasure, and
education as great as anyone who ever lived...Did it satisfy? What was the conclusion? It was all
"vanity and vexation of spirit"(2:11). The earthly pursuits that most people emphasized simply
do not satisfy in the end.
What is the real purpose of life? "Fear God and keep His Commandments" (12:13).God created
man, because He had a purpose for us to accomplish, and He designed us so that, unless we
fulfill that purpose, we have no real sense of accomplishment. Instead we create problems for
ourselves.
What would happen if you tried to bake lasagna in the clothes dryer? What if you tried to run
your car on 7 Eleven instead of gasoline? What if you tried to mow your lawn with fingernail
clippers?
Problems often result when things are created for one purpose, but we try to use them for a
completely different purpose. Likewise, our lives are not satisfactory when we do not accomplish
the purpose we were created for.

The Destiny of Human Person

Do you understand what comes after death? You may or may not feel that your life on earth is
secure, but what happens when you die? What will your destiny be when life is over?
Many people are confused or unsure about what comes after death.
We can be certain that death is coming. We may not like it, but death is a fact of life,
"Sometimes people contract cancer or heart disease that is diagnosed as terminal. But, “Life is a
terminal disease. “No one stays here permanently. "Criminals are sometimes given a death
sentence for their crimes. But we all live under a death sentence! ”In college a hippie type
roomed in a house. He subscribed a Time Magazine, and one day when-the mail came people
kidded him saying, “Your Time has come!" He became upset. But sooner or later, for every one
of us, “Your time will come"
Death is uncertain only in that we do not know when or how it will come. But there can be no
doubt that it will come. Death is sad and fearful for many because they do not know what lies
beyond. Or worse yet, they do know and are not ready to face it! Sooner or later, we all must
face death.
Sri Swami Chidananda on the Destiny of Man
The destiny of man as seen by the mystics is to be a similar process of going back to his source
and origin. And that source and origin is a supreme state of independence, supreme state of
consciousness, transcending all vexing limitations, infinite, boundless, eternal, beyond time and
space.
That is the source and origin of each one of you sitting and listening to me, within this confined,
limited body house you are an immortal spark of the cosmic spirit. You are radiant ray of this
light of lights beyond all darkness. You are ever a wave of this ocean of infinite eternal
existence, never apart from it, inseparable from it, always one with it, but not aware of it. You
are ever a wave, a dancing blissful wave upon the bosom of this vast, infinite ocean of eternal
existence and from that state, losing the awareness of your essential nature, you have come down
to a lesser level of consciousness. What made you lose the awareness of your essential nature? It
is an unfortunate identification with some aspects of your present human nature which
constitutes not your essential self, but a temporary added factor being a part of your temporary
human personality. Before your father and mother married what were your features? What was
your

Spiritually
Our destiny is to emerge into the Greater Community of Worlds. This is a process that will take
several centuries overall, but the change within the scope of your life will be very rapid, and the
challenge to human society will be immense. Let us speak on this, for this concern's you and
your purpose of coming into the word.
Subject: PHILO-I

MODULE 6 Page 6 of 10
Humanity will emerge into Greater Community because it lives in the Greater Community. As
human ascendancy has now become established on your planet, you will gain recognition in the
Greater Community. You will become a force, not a great force, but a force nonetheless. You are
now emerging out of your primitive cultures with great difficulty. You are seeking to associate
with each other with great difficulty. Human history is like a shadow over the world, drawing
people backwards, just like your personal history is a shadow over you, drawing you backwards.
Destiny is what keeps everything going.
Destiny is what generates the motivation to create, to establish, to explore and fulfill. There is a
destiny for you, and there is a destiny for the world. Your destiny is here to find your purpose
and to find your allies, those unique individuals who are here to help you to fulfill that purpose.
The world's destiny is to emerge into the Greater Community. This is where it is heading. It is
going in this direction no matter what human society is doing. It must go in this direction. This
represents the next stage of human life in the world. It is inevitable and unalterable. That is why
we speak of it in terms of destiny instead of in terms of human will and human determination.

What is Death?
Death is the time when something ends or the permanent end of all life functions. He turned his
face to the world in the said belief and so after his prayer slept in the Lord (Tom Sawyer).He
would turn his face to the world and die with that word unsaid (Mark Twain).
Thus death can be a very difficult concept to define. Numerous professional associations and
other interdisciplinary committees have struggled with a problem and have developed criteria by
which to death. Some of these criteria have been established by legislatures although there is
certainly no consensus definition of death that all countries embrace.
Clinical determinants of death refer to measures of bodily functions. Often judged by a
physician, who can then sign a legal document called a medical death certificate, these clinical
criteria include:
1. Lack of heartbeat and breathing
2. Lack of central nervous system functions
3. Presence of rigor mortis indicating that body tissues and organs are no longer functioning at
the cellular level/cellular death
A person is not legally dead until a death certificate has been signed by a physician

STAGES OF DEATH AND DYING

Dying is a process, the end point of which is death. In this sense, dying is a terminal part of
living. The coping responses during this particular segment of life are shaped by previous
experiences with death, as well as by cultural attitudes and beliefs. Kubler-Ross (1969)
postulates five stages that many dying patients pass through from the time they first become
aware of their fatal prognosis to their actual death:
1. Denial
On being told that one is dying, there is an initial reaction of shock. The patient may appear
dazed at first and may then refuse to believe the diagnosis or deny that anything is wrong. Some
patients never pass beyond this stage and may go from doctor to doctor until they find one who
supports their position.
Subject: PHILO-I
Topic: HUMAN PERSON AS ORIENTATION TOWARDS THEIR IMPENDING DEATH

MODULE 6 Page 7 of 10
2. Anger
Patients become frustrated, irritable and angry that they are sick. A common response is, “Why
me?" They may become angry at God, their fate, a friend, or a family member. The anger may be
displaced onto the hospital staff or the doctors who are blamed for the illness.
3. Bargaining
The patient may attempt to negotiate with physicians, friends or even God, that in return for a
cure, the person will fulfill one or many promises, such as giving to charity or reaffirm an earlier
faith in God.
4. Depression
The patient show clinical signs of depression - withdrawal, psychomotor, retardation, sleep
disturbances, hopelessness and possibly suicidal ideation. The depression may be a reaction to
the effects of the illness on his/her life or it may be in anticipation of the approaching death.
5. Acceptance
The patient realizes that death is inevitable and accepts the universality of the experience. Under
ideal circumstances, the patient is courageous and is able to talk about his or her death as he or
she faces the unknown. People with strong religious beliefs and those who are convinced of a life
after death can find comfort in these beliefs (Zisook &Downs, 1989).

Evaluation of the Stage of Dying

These five stages are not all encompassing or prescriptive. Not everyone will reach these stages;
perhaps only a few will reach acceptance. A patient may demonstrate aspects of all five stages in
one interview or may fluctuate between stages. Moreover, patients may exhibit other coping
methods-such as error, humor, or compassion-to offset each stage. This model is criticized as a
highly subjective interpretation in which observation and intuition has been expended into
unwarranted generalization. The role of situational and personal factors has been minimized. In
addition too, the above model generates unrealistic expectation, that patient will follow the
predetermined pattern, among both public and health professionals (Silver and Wrotman,
1980).The emotional reactions to terminality vary across individual, and to a greater extent
depend upon his or her style of living (De Spelder and Strickland, 1993). Despite these
limitations, Kubler-Ross's pioneer and unique work has certainly generated a renewed concern
for the dying person.
IMMINENT DEATH: SYMPTOMS AND CONCERNS
Predicting the exact time of death is usually hard. The last hour or days of the dying process can
be the most difficult for the patient, family, and physician. Fortunately for a vast majority of
patients, the last hours or days are spent in a comatose state, which appears to be a comfortable
death. However, for some, the end can be a harrowing process. Sources of suffering of a dying
patient can be classified into three categories. Physical symptoms, psychological symptoms(e.g.
Depression) and existential distress (e.g. concerns about death).Depending upon the nature and
chronicity of illness, physical symptoms may include pain, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, problems
with urination, difficulty in swallowing, shortness of breath, weakness, dry mouth, change in
taste and fever.
Psychological symptoms and existential distress also are sources of suffering since they too can
be experienced as unpleasant, can occur on a frequent or chronic basis, and can be perceived as
uncontrollable. Most patients at the end of life develop psychological and psychiatric symptoms
Subject: PHILO-I
Topic: HUMAN PERSON AS ORIENTATION TOWARDS THEIR IMPENDING DEATH
Quarter: 2 Week: 6
MODULE 6 Page 8 of 10
either alone or in combination with physical symptoms. Among the many possible psychological
and psychiatric complications, the most common are anxiety, depressive and cognitive
symptoms. They may show restlessness, irritability, dysphonic mood, anhedonia, disorientation,
memory impairments and disturbance of consciousness.
They may be distressed thinking of unfulfilled aspirations, unresolved guilt, and loss of personal
integrity, increased dependency on others, meaninglessness of continued existence, anticipated
separation from loved ones and fear of death.

Death Agony
Often, there are characteristic signs when death is near. Changes in respirations may occur. Slow
and fast respirations of long periods without a breath are common in the dying person. Moaning
may occur with breaths but does not necessarily mean the person is in pain. Secretions in the
throat or the relaxing of the throat muscles can lead to noisy breathing, sometimes called the
death rattle.
Repositioning the patient or using drugs to dry secretions can minimize the noise. This breathing
can continue for hours. At the time of death few muscle contractions may occur and the chest
may heave as if to breathe. The heart may beat a few minutes after breathing stops, and a brief
seizure may occur. Consciousness may decrease. Mental confusion or decreased alertness may
occur just prior to death. The limbs may become cool and perhaps bluish, mottled or blotchy.
The changes occur due to a decrease in oxygen and the body's circulation slowing down. The
person may suddenly become incontinent (unable to control bowel and/or urine
elimination).Physical

Disfigurement may occur from a progressive tumor. Unless the dying person has a rare
infectious disease, family members should be assured that touching, caressing, and holding the
body of a dying person, even for a while after death, are acceptable. Doing so seems to counter
the irrational fear the person really did not die (Merck, 1998).

Accepting the death of a Loved One

Peoples understanding and acceptance of a loss or death of a loved one varies. Their personal
experience, the attitude, and values of the family, all can influence man's attitude toward death.
Parents should avoid shielding or misleading their children about the reality of death. Death is
not temporary and children must know that.
When a loved one dies, the family will experience grief. Grief is a part of life that will pass as we
come to accept the death of a loved one. It will pass as we come to realize that life must go on or
we must move on.
During the period of mourning, the family needs understanding and comfort to regain the
physical, mental, and emotional health, the family needs someone to talk to. They need to
express their feeling because through such conversation they can come to accept death.
Realization that they should continue to carry on their own lives is also possible after they have
talked about and express their feeling.

Management of the Dying Patient

There are seven (7) essential features in the management of the dying patient:
1. Concern: Empathy, compassion, and involvement are essentials.
2. Comments: Skill and knowledge can be as reassuring as warmth and concern. Patients benefit
immeasurably from the reassurance that their providers will not allow them to live or die in pain.
3. Communication: Allow patients to speak their minds and get to know them.
4. Children: If children want to visit the dying, it is generally advisable they bring consolation to
dying patients.
5. Cohesion: Family cohesion reassures both the family maximizes patient support and is
prepared to help the family through bereavement.t
6. Cheerfulness: A gentle, appropriate sense of humor can be palliative; a somber or anxious
demeanor should be avoided.
7. Consistency: Continuing, persistent attention is highly valued by patients who often fear they
are a burden and will be abandoned; consistent physician involvement mitigates these fears.

LIFE AFTER DEATH

Near death experience (NDE) and cases of reincarnation type are the two phenomena that have
been claimed as evidence of afterlife.
Near Death Experience
NDE is an altered state of consciousness usually occurring after traumatic injury and almost
invariably involve risk of life. This is an episode split-off from the patient's usual life and marked
by unusual dream like events. Some people believe that they were actually "in death”. They
report that after “dying" they left their body and floated away, become enveloped in a dark
tunnel, and then enter a soothing light, later when they come back to life they are able to recall
the events that occurred when they were dead. During the episode their entire past flash before
them.
Hallucinations caused by hyper-activation of amygdala-hippocampus-temporal lobe a response
of oxygen starved brain, have been proposed as a physiological explanation. Greyson (1997)
argued that correlating NDEs with physical structures or chemicals in the brain, would not
necessarily tells us, what causes NDEs.

A Reflection on the Meaning of Self-Life

Talk about meaning makes sense in many contexts. We talk about the meaning of words and
sentences, the meaning of smoke on the horizon, or meaning of a drop in stock prices. We ask
people what they mean by what they say or do. Sometimes 'meaning' is another term for purpose
or intention. In these contexts, we can discuss questions about meaning, and even if the
reasoning is difficult, we know what we are talking about. The case is different when people ask
in a general way “What is the meaning of human life or of a particular human life?”
Humans generate meanings wherever they go, so it is only natural that they would ultimately ask
about the meaning of life itself. The trouble is that the concept of meaning has boundaries
beyond which it no longer makes any sense to speak of meaning. This is similar to Kant's
complaint that concepts having their proper applications in one area are inappropriately applied
Subject: PHILO-I
Topic: HUMAN PERSON AS ORIENTATION TOWARDS THEIR IMPENDING DEATH
Quarter: 2 Week: 6
MODULE 6 Page 10 of 10
to another. An example is Kant's criticism of the use of the concept of causality beyond its use in
understanding the empirical world to explain the existence of the universe as a whole.
There may be no transcendent meaning of life, but there is something of the quest for it that
many people believe makes their lives meaningful perhaps what people are looking for is a
meaning for their lives that goes yond their own merely particular concerns and activities. We
feel better if we think that our lives are part of a larger concern. Such a concern gives is a sense
of belonging to something bigger than ourselves. However, s his is a meaning that life can have
without projecting some even greater meaning upon it.
On a lower level, personal meanings permeate the lives of individuals. Things and people matter
to us and give our lives meaning with a little "m'. Without those “little meanings" life would
indeed be empty and meaningless in a way that causes true distress. Little things like small acts
of kindness, support for friends, gatherings in celebration, condolences in" time of sadness, all
give life meaning even if not a transcendent "Meaning".
So, in conclusion, it is to be argued that there are three levels of meaning to human life. One is
misguided and the other is legitimate. First is the misguided search for a "Great Meaning" that
gives significance o life as a whole. Next is the meaning conferred on a life that cares for
something more than the simple satisfaction of personal desires? Examples are political or
humanitarian causes in which we join together with others to do something beyond the power of
any individual.
Finally, there are the little meanings of everyday life that come from living with others and
acting in the world. These include the memories and anticipations of daily life, as well as the
things of personal significance that surrounds us. On these levels of meaningfulness, there is no
doubt hat human life has meaning. On the higher level, the question of whether human life is
meaningful is their meaningless.
