    Life takes meaning from how it is lived, and being lived; how it is valued.
    A person can become depressed and feel that their life has lost meaning. Life can become difficult, uncertian and unmangable. The experience of meaningless in living life comes at times when life has become too full of meaning to comprehend.

    It is possible to be living in the most dire circumstances and still survive by finding meaning in one very simple thing. It could even be a thread, that has come loose on a sleeve. If the thoughts can be turned away from the unbelievable or physically impossible to the wax of a candle life can continue.

    The meaning of life is fluid like a river and each person can shape the direction it takes with the choices they make. There are no rules other than those of natural consequence. We learn as we go and we seem to be somewhat driven to want to know more.

    The quest that we each follow in our lives comes from that part of ourselves that knows and understands all things. Some call this spirit or or god, there are many names we call this part of ourselves that seems to know something more.

    Before we are born and after we die I believe we return to our full self where we understand all that has been before and will come to be. I believe before we are born we are able to choose who we will become and what lessons we wish to live.

    In this context the meaning of a life is an answer to a plan which each will return to, becoming fuller in life with every experience.
