I agree, this meaning we have exists in the beholder's eye. You might never have encountered that person in your life but, already you've imprinted a meaning in them. It also comes to closeness/relationship. There are some relationships that you actually thrive to exude a certain meaning, for example, in courtship or marriage. If you don't carry that meaning, the relationship dies. It is the essence of relationships, meaning something to others.Bridgetbruso99 wrote: ↑02 Apr 2021, 01:38 I also think the quote refers to not just the obvious people we would mean something to, but that you never know the impact that you could be having on others. People need to be aware of that and live their lives accordingly by it. Think of the people that you have met that have impacted you in some way, whether they knew it or not. Now think about if there might be someone somewhere in your life that thinks about you the way you think of that person.

I share the same thinking and I see this as you leave an impact on everyone and in everyone's life. Whether it's big small, good, bad, you still exist and take part in someone others life.Natalia Nazeem wrote: ↑07 Jun 2021, 07:13 The quote is interesting, depending on how you choose to interpret it. Personally, I'd like to think that the idea of 'having meaning for others' is about how others perceive you, and the meaning that others generate for you. Whether it's as a friend, a family member, a co-worker, a significant other, or any other relationship out there, a significant part of who you are is determined by the meaning that others have about you. For example, I do partly define myself in relation to others - I am my mother's daughter (some of her behaviors are reflected in me), I am a good employee (I make sure I have a sustainable work ethic), or I am a valuable friend (I try and espouse active listening, and try and be there for others). Accordingly, protecting and recognizing how you affect others plays a large role in understanding who you are, and accepting who you are. At the end of the day, human beings are social creatures - which means that the way we define ourselves is not in isolation, but in relation to others around us.

For example for your superior you have professional usefulness and for your most close ones, you have emotional usefulness. Some call you to talk about studies, some for books, some for sports, etc. So I agree that we all have some sort of meaning for others.
