A life of meaning or a life of happiness? You choose... email this discussion to a friend?

"There comes a time when a man has to ask himself whether he wants a life of happiness or a life of meaning...Two very different paths. To be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present, no thought of what's gone before and no thought of what lies ahead. But a life with meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future."
- Linderman, Heroes.

Do you believe that? So what kind of life do you choose?

Happiness has never been a big part of my life, but I do have a meaningul life.

I did once spend too much time thinking about my past and I never really thought about the future, but I'm not someone who worries about what may or may not happen, until it does happen.

Then I changed. I started to focus on the present, and I realized that the past is just something that has led me to where I am now. I enjoy the present more because of all the difficult times I have been through, and I have achieved more and become mentally stronger because of all those challenges.

I do look to the future, because I need to have goals and to make plans. I don't obsess over it, I want to make thing happen rather than just let things happen.

Happiness does come into my life, but it is not the only thing I want from life.

I choose the life of happiness. To be happy is what we are all aiming for in life. Whatever our field is, we always wish for it. For me, a life of happiness is a life of satisfaction. It is something so great as it will unleash our inner geisha and true self.

Good choice. Whatever makes us happy gives meaning to our lives, right? wink

I say that it is kind of hard to distinguish between the two choices. I would like to say that both ways could bring someone joy and fulfillment. However I would have to say that a life of happiness seems more of what I would seek.
I do believe that living in the present constitutes no thought of the past or concerning one's self with the future. Living in the here and now and counting our blessings is something to think about. thumbup

True. THe choice could be very personal. It could be that what makes somebody's life meaningful would in turn make him happy. Or the other way around. thumbup
Stay happy

so hard to choose!

on my point of view, a happy life is a meaningful life, it simply mean that i will be happy if i only find the meaning of my life. i cant tell the meaning of my life without knowing my past coz i do believe that experience is a good teacher therefore i need to acknowledge my past and learn from it. from there i van say that am living a happy life beacuse i learned from my past now i can mold a better future and live happyily.
