Years ago there was a TV show called Vikings. There was a main character named Lagertha. In the show, Lagertha had a near death experience. She died and came back. The Vikings all asked her what she learned and what was the meaning of life. She replied with this -
"The only thing that I have learned is that life is about suffering. There's no escape from it. That's the truth. What's important is how we deal with suffering, how we deal with the truth,"
So the question is ... do you agree with Lagertha on the meaning of life? Is it all about suffering and what we do with that suffering? Or did she get it wrong and it's really about something else?
What do you think the meaning of life is ... or if there is any meaning of life at all?
There are times that I actually agree with her. It's all about suffering. Everything in life revolves around suffering and trying not to suffer. Everything. And yet, suffering is what keeps life going. Everything on earth that is alive, lives because something else died for it to live. Even the grass we walk on are alive because something died to fertilize the soil that it grows in. The 'circle of life' is really a 'circle of death'.
Gloomy but there it is.
