The Meaning of Life

George Lucas says that "If we have a meaningful place, it is to try to fit into a healthy, symbiotic relationship with others. I agree with Mr. Lucas. In my eyes, the meaning of life and one's happiness go hand in hand. They are both subjective and can be different for every person alive. However, we need to fit in some place in society to feel happy and complete. For some of us that is our family, for others our friends, coworkers, or peers. Being with them make us happy, they make us laugh, they share precious moments and memories with us. I don't interpret Lucas's quote as having to feel accomplished or having to feel important as a part of something bigger. I interpret it as being happy and the only way we can truly be happy is if we share our happiness. Regardless of what we choose to do with our lives, our ultimate goal is to be happy and "happiness is only real when shared," so share it.
