The meaning of life

YahyaAhmed January 18th, 2023

What about leafs which grants food to insects, shadows for creatures and refresh our air.

That's a great meaning for just a leaf, but what if I told you that you are the one who planted the whole tree, Is that still not giving your life a meaning ? 🤔

@YahyaAhmed

Your metaphor is confusing. Does the tree have purpose, no it doesn't. It is a tree and cannot think. What you have deemed as the leaf's purpose is just its attributes. The leaf never decides to do these things it just is. Are you suggesting that our purpose is simply to exist?

I suppose that you didn't get the meaning.

What I mean is what if a part (leaf) can do that and be useful then, what about the largest entity (tree).

2nd part what if there's no tree? What will carry the leafs

Trees are good for shade, oxygen production, binding CO2, wood, and possibly fruit.

If there were no trees other plants would grow to replace them in doing these things.

I was a treeplanter for a couple years and saw it as only a temporary job for me, without much purpose beyond a truck stop on my road of life.

I'm wanting more from myself that a labour job can't provide, personally, and have a yearning for that.

It is still sometimes a battle to not judge my path and to stay positive.

There is epigenetic trauma to overcome.
