I agree that living is to create. We are constantly creating, like you said, memories, our present, etc. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspective.oluwalonimi29 wrote: ↑26 May 2021, 05:07 Living is to create.At every point,at every passing moment man must create. We create our memories, our present, possibly our future.
What man creates our of his existence is solely man's responsibility
We are constantly creating. We are creating new memories, text messages, art, or whatever it is that we are pursuing. I don't see living without creating. Thank you for sharing your perspective.Aishwarya KG wrote: ↑26 May 2021, 07:37 I stand in the middle of the discussion. we have to create lots of memories in life because when we look back after years , that's the only thing that stands still. But whatever we create, its supposed to be good and give us positive vibe such that we cherish them.
I think part of the meaning of life is to create because we are constantly creating. I think if you were the only person on earth you would still create (meals and such), but happily? Probably not. Thank you for sharing your opinions.Honniker wrote: ↑25 May 2021, 16:46 If the meaning of life is to create, would you still happily create if you were the only person on earth? I think for an author or painter, you might, for the satisfaction of creation comes from the internal process. The introverted creator would soldier on. But everyone else would be at loose ends. For extroverts, it would be a meaningless hell. And for an extroverted god, that hell would roll on for infinite time. So gods, if such things exist, are either extroverts creating worlds outside themselves, or introverts creating worlds in their minds. Quantum physics, which hints that nothing is actually real, suggests it’s the latter.

How you create your life is in your own hand. simple, adventures, boring it depends on you!
Yes, the author's insight was refreshing. I am glad you enjoyed the book. I believe the meaning of life is about creating, because we are constantly creating. In that creating you can choose how to live it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.gina_rae73 wrote: ↑30 May 2021, 06:25 the author's insight is refreshing. Her take on life is positive and enlightening! I really like that she describes, in detail, the heartwarming story of the origin of the book's title. Life is how you choose to live it and this lady has lived so much of her life helping others. Very good read.
I agree that part of the meaning of life is to create. We are constantly creating stuff, but I do not think that is the only meaning of life. I don't necessarily agree that life "is all about creating what we want with our hands." We don't always get what we want, nor should we. Thank you for sharing your opinions.Gospel Francis wrote: ↑31 May 2021, 02:45 According to the author, life means to "create". Man is charged with the responsibility of making the world what he wants it to be by causing a change. Life is all about creating what we want with our hands. We make our dreams come true by creating it with our own hands. Man ought to be an agent of change. Life is all about creating!!
I do not believe that creating is the sole purpose of life, but I do believe it is a big part of the meaning of our lives. We are constantly creating. New memories, books, posts, etc. I do not think we have to create to be purposeful, but we are creating, so it is part of the purpose. Thank you for sharing your opinions.Suzer6440 xyz wrote: ↑31 May 2021, 21:50 I do not agree with the author. We can choose to create, but I don’t believe this is the sole purpose in life. We make our lives what we want it to be. Every person chooses what their purpose can be and will be , that being said , one does not HAVE to create to be purposeful
