The Meaning of Life

Humanists, being non-religious, don’t generally believe that there is a meaning to life.

That doesn’t mean we live lives without meaning.

I happen to think my life is full of meaning. For me.

It just means that in the macro or big sense, I don’t think someone or something external has a grand plan for anything.

But just because there isn’t macro meaning doesn’t mean there isn’t micro meaning. 

Humanists look for meaning in the little things.  In our relationships. In our short term and long term goals.

And that’s actually enough.  I don’t need macro meaning to find meaning in life. 

After all, it’s the little things that tend to matter the most.
