One of the biggest questions ever is: "What is the meaning of life?"
When I think about it, I am just left with a black space to stare into. Is it the pursuit of happiness? Is it the pursuit of wealth? Is it the pursuit of fame? Is it having a happy family?
I think The Alchemist really gives life a purpose through the story of Santiago.
while the moral pretty commonly voiced, sticking to the moral is hard.
What is this moral, you may ask. Well, I think it is the lesson that life is enjoying your pursuit for a goal. It is about learning and experiencing, The joy of success is short lived, but the path is not. The path is ridden with obstacles and events that could define your life. As such, one needs to learn to find a mentality in which one enjoys challenges, or is unbothered by them.
Such a mentality might be that "Life is Life." This is merely and adaptation to constant challenges, but is not a mentality that provides joy, but is just a resistance to worry.
While this ideology does not provide continuous happiness, it can help in providing joy while facing challenges, not joy in the challenges. It is like finding man[goes] in life to find sweetness through these challenges. Finding joy in some challenges is not the real challenge, but it is the challenge of finding joy in all challenges.
I do believe that it is possible to find joy in all challenges.
At least through a few of the challenges I have experienced and through anime!!!!!
