For me the meaning of life is to realize that you are not your mind. If you can observe your thoughts instead of being identified with them, life becomes easier and more joyful.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

That's a nice and profound theory... something to always work on, for sure.

[@ashnewsam]

ayyy we all love Janusz!!! :)

[@gabrielalopez2972]

I love this guys from Easy German, they have such an amazing personality and they are so funny in English and in German. More video with this guys. About the meaning of life ? live like every day would be the last.

[@ionela_andreea30]

It's weird that even though we live, we don't know the meaning of life. Sometimes we think too much and take life too seriously. Personally, to me, the meaning of life is just to live every minute of it. Enjoy the good food, wonderful nature, the weather, the sun, the sky, socialize with people..etc. Be happy that you exist, you are healthy. You don't need to do something to make your life meaningful. I feel like we take for granted the things that make life meaningful and we are looking for success, people, or something out of this world to make us happy and our life meaningful. I believe no one's life is meaningless. We are all precious the way we are. Thank you for this video💙!

[@chabanidjamila15]

For me the meaning of life is a great long story.that l will write it every day, that depends of our age,our goals and events of life.they are good and bad things in it.l must all days positive, because all our experience in life has a sense also we don't know it ,one day we will understand.my faith in God,my family, my friends and my work motivate me to stand up every morning and continue.l think that science couldn't teach me about meaning of life, it's so personal that everyone has her own definition of life.

[@ArgusStrav]

(native English speaker here) I think the meaning of life involves more than just "having fun" or "doing what you want"--I think it also means fulfilling your obligations--to your family, to your community, to your country. We are both *given* rights and privileges, and it is expected *from* us to fulfill obligations and duties. Here's a great phrase in English--to do right by someone. One should do right by your family, do right by the people around you, do right by your friends. These relationships have to be maintained and cherished, which means doing right by them.

[@itsYourChance]

Love hearing everyone's answers

[@floratsakona3724]

Nice video! I think everyone has a different perspective of what makes life meaningful. My take on this is that the meaning of life is life itself. In other words , the fact that we are able to feel and experience both good and bad things. As individuals, our ability to set personal goals, travel, dream about the future and make friends . All in all, life is a madness but there is still some method in this madness. Keep up the wonderful work! ❤️

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

I like this theory a lot, I think Ronan Keating has a similar but more childish translation.

[@islamadam8502]

Thanks for the episode 👍 I like it when members of other Easy Language projects join you especially the Easy German group 🤠 As for the question: Life is a test in which we prepare ourselves for the hereafter, that's the meaning. This life is temporary, everything in it is going to end no matter how pleasurable or harmful it is, one can live like a king or a beggar but in the end all are going to die and leave everything behind, so we shouldn't focus entirely on the earthly life. I don't think that science gives life a meaning because science deals with phenomena and how they happen, not with what's behind phenomena nor with why they exist, that lies in the domain of religion and the domain of philosophy. I would recommend reading "The Picture of Dorian Gray" as a novel which deals with a man who lives for pleasure without caring about values, if there's one whose life experience qualifies him to tell us about such a way of life then surely it is Oscar Wilde.

[@hassinaainouche7713]

In my opinion, each one has his own life in the society. It depending in our self to make it pleasant and signifiant.

[@claudialeytte8658]

Excellent participation from the guys of easy German, thank you so much for the video. I love it.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Thanks for your comment... Easy German are grrrrreeeat! 🐯

[@ggiiaaccoommoo]

That's actually a quite easy question. The answer is even on Wikipedia: "The Meaning of Life, is a 1983 British musical sketch comedy film written and performed by the Monty Python troupe, directed by Terry Jones."

[@anitaa6404]

Great to see Cari and Janesz I love them x

[@lorenamendes5415]

Thanks for the video, I loved it. For me, the meaning of life is to be patient with difficulties in life and to know how to appreciate the good things.

[@sergec6560]

I do not agree with those people that say that life is meaningless, but they have a right to think so, this is probably the best they can come up with at this stage of their life. They see life as meaningless for them, but it is not necessarily so for other people. I think that common meaning of life for people is to improve themselves and the world around them according to their understanding of the world they have with as less violence as possible. And to enjoy the process along the way. And the way to fulfill this common idea could be very individual for every person.

[@marinab693]

Very interessant question !

[@seham370]

Life is to accept what you have , fun, and take care of your family ... by the way l liked a lot the team of easy german 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thanks.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Thanks for watching Anna! What do you think the meaning is? Is there any?

[@raufrunter9501]

Janusz speaking English 😯

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

😁😁😁😁

[@iqbalfauziramdhani1562]

For me meaning of life is do whatever I want like improving my hobby, learning new things and having work life balance

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Love that! I’m all about leading with the heart and trying to maintain a balance

[@Cesarsanvicente]

easy English difficult questions

[@kaylane4365]

The meaning of live is: You make your own meaning 🍭

[@fadeltauma4296]

Change your to logo press is an important matter for people's funs

[@AngelineHargreaves]

I'm with kaylane there's no meaning! You just have to make the most of what life dealt to you ! It's good to treat people well and kindly as you go through life ! Unfortunately life is not fair so its nice to be nice along the way!!

[@ursula7498]

I have been asking this question for years..I now think that you have to find your own meaning because, objectively, there is none. We are humans and we find ourselves living on this planet, and because of our intellectual powers we are able to make life better or worse for our fellow human beings and all the other species. So I think we should enjoy life and at the same time try to care for others.

[@whiskeylullaby9556]

What about the topic, the most joyous moment in someone's life? I love this video, anyway.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

That's a great idea... maybe I save it for when Janusz returns 🤩

[@BaqerSalman-cd2kb]

What is the meaning of ( getting even deeper ) Thank you for a great video

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

To get more intimate and personal

[@steliosieronymakis2480]

[@iamalexisalmazan]

The meaning of life... I really like to know what is it, unfortunately I can't. However, the only thing that I know is we have only a die and all the days we have an opportunity to live our lives.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

I like the simplicity to your theory

[@gabrielabissinger6263]

42!

[@roxy8977]

When ppl are told to draw picture of bird, they draw bird. When told to draw dog, they draw dog. But when told to draw anything they like, they stop drawing and make difficult face. Now we were born and told to live the way we like, we make difficult face.

[@Hadrianus01]

The meaning of life is to find out the will of God and fulfil it wholeheartedly.

[@abukhalil5675]

Nay, whoever submits His whole self to God and is a doer of good, He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Translation of Qur’an 2:112)

[@trioquang53]

can someone help me explain the phrase: Deep jon down the beer load what is meaning?

[@VirArsenov]

Can you provide a link to that topic in Berlin? I assume it is in Germany. But I want to see. Tnx.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

[@VirArsenov]

@Easy English both episodes, is wonderful.

[@themeaningoflifeexpert]

I found the actual answer in my 20 year research.

[@sandrainnerwinkler3319]

How many people do you have to ask to get these interesting answers?

[@MultiMy007]

Admin what do u feel about meaning of life ???

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

I (Mitch) am not a religious person. And I think without religion, it's easy to reach the conclusion that life is meaningless, which is a dangerous thought and can lead to selfishness and narcissism. But, I recently read a lot of what Aristotle said about creativity and I think the venture of perfecting something creative is an infinite but rewarding task, it's challenge is also improved when sharing within a social construct, connecting with others. Therefore it gives huge reward but still humbles you constantly as there is only subjectivity in the creative arts. This is something that gives my life meaning. How about you?

[@ricardokullock2535]

Not a single "42" answer? :(

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

One guy said 32 but I thought it was best to edit that out... as he was '10' off the correct answer

[@ricardokullock2535]

@@EasyEnglishVideos yep, better to leave that one out 👍🏻

[@ricardokullock2535]

By the way, came here looking for this specific answer after hearing this would be the question from the @Easy German podcast 😃
