The meaning of Life (atleast one of them)
Most people have their own personal meaning of life, and i have mine. My norwegian teacher uttered the very good phrase “Det er lys i enden av tunnelen, men det er et motgående tog” for you english speaking people this would be “There is light in the end of the tunnel, but its a meating train”
so what does this have to do with the meaning of life? simple… if you do a quick analysis of the phrase you find out that the tunnel represents your life… you just keep walking forward every day, trying to reach that end. Everyone knows that through life you will face hardships, challanges and things you wish you could avoid, this is the train, atleast as i see it. to avoid it you can sqeese up against the wall and wait for it to pass, though sometimes you might find the tunnel more narrow then usual or the train might move faster, or just a nice combination of those things. so what happens when you really reach the end of the tunnel? well… then you die, in most cases of old age, but some people might have a shorter tunnel then other for various reasons, like canser etc.
so now, what is the meaning of life then? When you face this Train, you have two choises, you can either dodge it by squeesing yourself up against the tunnel wall and wait for it to pass, or you can get splattered by it and end up as a red splatter on the front of this train. so i will with this singel phrase say that “The meaning of life is to not end up as red splatter on the front of a metaphorical train and walk out of the tunnel the normal way”
