The meaning of life
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
This is a really cool way to think about it. It gives a whole new perspective. 💜

Thank you so much :)
@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?
@Gettingbettertoday
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
@YahyaAhmed
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.
@Gettingbettertoday
I suppose you suggesting the purpose of the tree is to grow leaves.
Is my purpose to simply survive because that is what is happening when I tree is growing leaves, it is simply how they eat.
@Gettingbettertoday
What I want to say that the tree have that useful thing then planning a tree is useful too
@YahyaAhmed
So do you believe the purpose of life is to be useful? Chop Wood/Carry Water.
A nice though in a way, we should all strive to be useful. Produce at least as much as we take and all.
But that begs the question What of those that can no longer be useful? Those that even though they might wish it otherwise they take more then they produce.
