This website is meant for users and visitors to share what a meaningful life is.  It is to help others figure out what they are living for.  Some will find deep meaning in a religion, a spiritual practice, secular views, family, work, love, etc.  A few, perhaps many will find no meaning in life.

My book, Quest for a Meaningful Life through Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism”, is just my story of finding a meaningful life.  It spans seventy years of wondering, living, experiencing, researching, questioning, loving, and working. Using it as an example you might find it useful to think about the various encounters, experiences, thoughts, and suggestions for you to create a meaningful life.
