You can watch the video episode here : https://youtu.be/t78dlNmgtf8 What’s the meaning of life?   In just 13 minutes I will talk about the misunderstandings of the meaning of life and how I finally found ways to „find“ it. Outtake: "There is this one big question. The question many of us fear and all different sorts of reactions have been monitored: people starting to tremble, others falling into the well of thoughts, some even throwing up, just by hearing this one question. Which is: „What’s the meaning of life?“ How is your reaction? Do you know, that I felt guilty for years when I came across this question and it also took me a long time to finally be in peace with it? It started in school, as a teenager, when our teacher told us, that we find the meaning of life by asking the question: “ What do I care about?“ Dear me. My mind was searching nervously for an answer. Suddenly it was my turn: "What’s the meaning in life Anna?" I looked at him with questioning fearful eyes saying: „to enjoy life, maybe?“ He laughed and told us, that it is more than that. I went home, thought about it, but never came up with an answer for myself, more than: to enjoy life. But yes, I felt guilty. Because now I believed, that „meaning of life“ always has to be a contribution to something bigger." What is your meaning of life? Feel free to leave a comment. Have a safe week and take care.   AnnA The Member's Club COMING SOON Episode notes: The first encounter (going wrong) with the ultimate question 00:00 - 02:49 The movies: Monty Python's the meaning of life & The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy The misunderstandings about the meaning of life 03:53 - 06:44 No 1: we tend to think that there is just THE ONE meaning of life.
