Meaningful Life

Life can become exceedingly dangerous when we lack meaning. Human anxiety results from a fear of separation, when our brains are divorced from purpose and filled instead with nihilism. Even on a physical basis, there exists within us a death drive triggered by hopelessness, a slow form of death in life when we conclude that life holds no meaning whatsoever. Neuroscience confirms that our brains seek purpose through our relationships. Purpose is coded right into the smallest subatomic components of our very being. I’ll repeat my point: purpose is not something we humans simply dreamed up—it’s coded within our very DNA!

Thus the largest and last question that emerges is about our application of this knowledge: Since there is purpose to life, what do we do with that purpose? How can we even advance our own evolution, if you will? Evidence bears out that experiences, and particularly our experiences in relationships where we establish connections, shape the brain. The brain, in turn, shapes our experiences. The influence of our beliefs is quite literally a matter of life or death. So we must therefore carefully safeguard our connections.

Gandhi famously put it this way:

Your beliefs become your thoughts,

Your thoughts become your words,

Your words become your actions,

Your actions become your habits,

Your habits become your values,

Your values become your destiny.11
