Meaning

   
Everyone should pause, take a break from whatever important thing they are engaged in and define meaning. Simply define meaning. What does “meaning” mean? Dictionary.com and other online dictionaries define meaning as an aim that is intended for or a purpose but that is not completely accurate. Think about it.

All our lives, science preaches us to find logic, explanations, find the reason behind everyday phenomenon, and understand the complex and arbitrary universe that we call home. There is nothing wrong with that, however, there are ample number of examples in this world where incidences are simply inexplicable. For example: - how do I explain to someone what color red looks like? Will I say, “Oh red color appears red because of the frequency of red light which has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum?” Scientifically I am a right however that doesn’t serve the intended purpose. Does it?

The essence of Science is to find answers. Answers to those questions that have perplexed humans for eternity. Answers to those questions which help humans realize how infinitely minuscule they are in the space-time reality. However, I still believe that no matter how far we advance in this field, no matter how much we progress in the context of technology, there will always be some things which cannot be explained. That is the most fun part of life. You just never know enough. You never learn enough. There is always “The Infinity and Beyond.”

In the end, meaning is simply the what, when, which, why and how of things. It is the constant urge of us humans to explain our surroundings. It is the desire of us to explain our existence in this world and how we matter. So go ahead. I challenge you to learn more and define yourself.  Show your worth. However in your quest to find your “meaning”, just remember that some things don’t have meaning. At that time, appreciate the complexity of the world and move on.
