LET US BROOD OVER…

Philosophical, Theological and Scientific Perspectives

We don’t want an answer. Do we? - If there is an answer, will it not destroy colour of life.

We don’t need an answer. Do we? – We are pretty much satisfied with our lives.

We know not all questions have answers. –Why to waste our time?

NOT

Believe me, because you are going to do this.

Not today. But one day, when the gap between your life

of imagination and reality will increase, maybe then ->

That EE-310 guy

was smart!“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than

sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

misuse of language.

fate of the universe-Big

Bang”

function to life, it is the

replication of DNA and the

survival of one's genes”

BIOLOGICAL ORIGIN TERROR MANAGEMENT

THEORY

“human meaning is derived

from a fundamental fear of

death, and values are selected

when they allow us to escape

the mental reminder of death”

ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

“after seven and a half million years of

calculation by a giant supercomputer

called Deep Thought, which explains

that "I think the problem, is that you've

never actually known what the question

is.”

SADLY, ANSWER IS ‘IT DEPENDS’.

To live one's dreams.

To seek happiness and flourish.

To become the best version of yourself.

To survive, that is, to live as long as

According to Human Needs Psychology, a theory developed by Tony Robbins, there are six fundamental needs that govern us:

Certainty

Uncertainty

Significance

Connection

Growth

Contribution

So, now your meaning of life comes to

what the things you need the most in life.

That leaves us at two fold solution to the

original problem:

1. The people who know what they need.

2. The people who don’t know that.

Answer is easy!

“The true meaning of life is to give our life meaning.”—Tate T. Weber

It is the spoon!

Significance

Certainty

Growth

Contribution

Let me tell you a story!

BUT FOR THOSE WHO WERE

NOT BORN WITH THE SPOON

THAT GIRL IS A METAPHORShe could be anyone.

UX/UI

Beauty

So, for those who were not

born with the spoon, all

you need is:

FIND ONE.

IT’S OKAY TO

BE LOST AT

TIMES,

SOMETIMES TO

BE DELUDED

OR TO CRY.

IN THE END IT’S

GOING TO END

ANYWAYS.
