 The quest for the Meaning of life is a universal question, but it presupposes that we believe that life has a meaning, that we believe that we have a place and a purpose in life.

But do we, have a purpose in this world ? And should we set out in search of it ? Or simply be content with the path we’re already in ? How much free will do we have ? And what about Happiness ? Isn't that quest enough ? Is it about sharing ? Self-sufficiency ? Self-confidence ? What about Love ? Is it something we should be looking for ? Isn't Love already everywhere ? Isn't universal Love "acceptance of what is" as well as "acceptance of oneself" ? Do all these questions have an answer ? Do they deserve a quest, or are they innate ?
