About me
Hello all, I am Shiju Mathew. My native place is Kallumala which is a place in Allapuzha District in Kerala state of India. I am a Govt Higher Secondary School Physics Teacher.
The meaning of life resides in joy and the feelings of harmony connected to happiness; without happiness, life loses meaning. Happiness is at the heart of our lives and our demand for a meaning.One great question underlies our experience, whether we think about it consciously or not: What is the purpose of life? I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. From the moment of birth, every human being wants happiness and does not want to suffer. From the very core of our being we simply desire contentment.
Holiness and magic give to man a superior and fantastic world, which can be a source of happiness and meaning; similarly, dreams and even myth and illusion are a source of consolation, of oblivion, of surpassing grief and so, to some degree, a way of giving meaning to our lives.
To the laity, man makes the meaning of life through his options and values. Life’s meaning (or lack of meaning) is purely a human creation.
