Good Attempt, however a bit haphazard (All over the place) without a coherent structure
For centuries only the privileged who didn’t have to toil and work, had the luxury of discussing philosophy and theorizing ideas.About the meaning of life. There is meaning. It is Subjective. Life’s meaning is different to each person. Whether it may be servitude for some (like the man in the film, forget his name), it could be the rearing of family for another, making music, or the joy of writing or film making like this director. Again even objectivity can be very subjective. There is no objective answer to the meaning of life, the goal is to find it for each one of us through awareness and then follow our calling to ensure we lead a more fulfilled and thus a happy life.
Good try Astra, maybe a better organized theme instead of haphazardly put material would prove more useful in the future.
My two cents 🙂
For people who love to hear their own voice
So random. Speaking but saying a whole lot of nothing.
