“This sentence is false.”

If it’s true, then it must be false. And if it is false, then it must be true. In my humble opinion, the key to the meaning of life is found in this simple sentence. Life is paradoxical by nature. There is no definitive ground to stand on. There is no single answer to finding the meaning of life, which means we are left to create our own interpretation of life’s complexities.

In the end, we are trapped in this loop of reason. The unique thing that helps humans stand apart is our ability to step out of the loop and look at it from afar. We can solve problems, cooperate, work in unison, and create meaning—something no other entity (as far as we know) can do. Which makes me think we are asking the wrong question. Perhaps the better question to explore is how one experiences life rather than why.
