In search of meaning ...


In search of meaning, we first come to abstract the process!
To me, the process of life is about connecting, adapting, understanding, and being attracted to.

Adaptation
We adapt all the time to environments we are in and to people. We do so to be able to maintain and form better connections and to survive. Friends adopt to each other to maintain and form a stronger connection; this is visible sometimes through their similar way of talking. People adopt to cultures and work environments by dressing and acting according to the norm. To live is to adapt!

Connection
We connect to everything around us: people, places, cultures, thoughts, ideas ... everything! Love is a type of strong connection. Sometimes you can feel the connection and it's especially beautiful when you are aware of its existence. To live is to connect!

Understanding
Understanding comes through meaning; it can be conscious as in "this is interesting: I'd like to understand what this means" or unconscious as in "I identify with this, but I'm not sure why". In order to connect, you need to reach understanding at some level. To live is to understand!

Attraction
We are consciously and unconsciously attracted to people, situations, ideas, objects, places ... This may be based on past experiences or genetic wiring. In order to understand we first need to be attracted by that we seek to understand. To live is to be attracted!


Some Meaningful Question:

What is Love? It is a strong connection that comes through understanding and adaptation to each other.
What is falling in love? It can be described in terms of attraction, understanding, connection and adaptation.
What's the perfect couple? Ones that are in love and are able to live and adapt to each other.
