“People say that what we’re seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experience on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
~Joseph Campbell

Every human being is searching for something. Not everyone is willing or able to put their quest into words. One thing a person learns is that simply being alive is not the same as feeling alive.
Dear tania,
I often hear complaints, ‘I see no meaning in my life….’. Sometimes these persons say, ‘I feel dead inside’.
Your quote rings a bell in me.
Maybe feeling alive consciously will provide a meaning in life as time goes by….
