"What is the meaning of life? " It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years.
The 1 answer I ever found was "The meaning of life is to give life meaning. "
"When I was a young boy, I gave my life meaning by 2 playing, running, swimming, laughing, and riding my bike.
When I went to school, I gave my life meaning by learning, studying hard, getting good grades and trying to 3 my mom and dad proud (骄傲的) .
In college, I found meaning by 4 what I wanted to study and what career (职业) I wanted to 5 for.
When I was working as a 6 , I found meaning by helping 7 young minds to new ideas and old wisdom.
When I got married, I found meaning in protecting (保护) , providing for, and watching over those I loved. And when I found out that both of my sons were born 8 mental (精神的) illnesses, I found meaning in loving them, 9 them, and learning from them about love, patience, faith, and joy.
As I got 10 , I began to realize that meaning isn't something that comes and 11 . We can give meaning to every moment of our lives here. We can bring meaning to the 12 we think. We can bring meaning to the things we do. We can bring meaning to the 13 we touch. We are responsible for 14 our own meaning. All we have to do is to love ourselves and 15 . It is love that gives life meaning. It is love that makes life worth living.
