| Yes Occam you are right. If you and others can be happy about what you have done to yourself and to others, knowing that it has uplifted the lives of yours and others, you have a meaningful life.
If you believe in after life or not; if you can be happy about the life you have lived when you die, I think it's an obvious measure for the meaning to life.
But I'd like to ask can a 'negative meaning' be considered as 'a meaning to life'? For me it's destructive, which I'd not consider as 'a meaning to life'. Every human has good and bad side, but I believe meaning to life comes by driving our lives to have more good for the betterment of all.
So considering Ghandhi and Hitler- I'd say Ghandhi had a great meaning to life, but for me Hitler didn't because considering the good and bad, bad weighs more. |
