Though it was not till 2014 after I purchased my first “skilled” digital camera, I imagine part of me has at all times beloved pictures. I bear in mind consistently taking footage round the home, of my household, of our holidays, and particularly of Jazmine, my household’s canine. At first, I had thought that panorama pictures was boring, not understanding why somebody would wish to wait hours on finish in a single location, simply to finish up going house empty-handed. But in 2016, I discovered myself doing precisely that. I discovered myself happening lengthy hikes with my girlfriend, sweating and panting as we walked up steep hills to varied waterfalls, usually coming house solely to appreciate that not one of the pictures I took have been portfolio-worthy. The reminiscences shared, nevertheless, made it a lot extra worthwhile than any {photograph} ever might. And that, I actually imagine, is why panorama pictures is so particular.

What’s the Which means of Life?
Ah – the last word query. The singular ask which has led to extra wars, extra battle on the earth than every other query man has ever conceived. What, my expensive reader, is the that means of life?
Based on essentially the most clever laptop within the universe, “Deep Thought” (https://amzn.to/3BRYwAK), the reply is solely 42.
Maybe a greater query than this, nevertheless, is why we as a species are so overtly involved with the that means of our lives. Personally, I’ve by no means witnessed my canine making an attempt to determine the that means in life; nor do I imagine a fish swims in its bowl, pondering the way it arrived there, questioning why it exists within the first place. And but we frequently discover ourselves questioning these such questions, and extra, all of which revolve across the that means of our lives.
The disappointing actuality is that we’re however a blip within the cosmos, one thing which the universe will shortly overlook even existed. To be blunt, it will not take lengthy earlier than most individuals on the earth overlook about your existence, even. Merely take into consideration the tens of millions of people that lived only a hundred years in the past; save for just a few who constructed a type of legacy for themselves, their names are largely forgotten.
So, if that is so and we aren’t residing in some type of simulation, what’s the level of looking for the that means of life?
In a single phrase: goal.
