Meaning of Life

Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Six Hundred Minutes

How do you measure life in a year and the life of a person?

In daylight, in midlights, in cups of coffee? In laughter or in strife?

In true friends we made or fames in our life?

In truths that we learned or in times when we cried?

In fortunes we earned or the time when we die?

I read an article last week about this american who chose to become a monk to seek true enlightenment and to help others. He was a havard graduate. He has found a meaning in life.

Honestly, when I asked myself the question above.. I couldn't find an answer and that frightens me. How about you?

I don't think it matter how you measure life as long as you know you did the things you wanted to, but then again other people worry, i try to not to think of it (... much).
