There may come a time in our lives, often about middle-age, or it may come sooner, when we wonder what life is really all about. We may be successful in our careers, have a great family, and pursue hobbies we enjoy; but we may still wonder "is this all"? Or, if we have not yet accomplished all we set out to do, we may wonder if we will ever get there.
Or, we may be too busy to reflect on our lives until we encounter a crisis, such as the death of a loved one, illness, or financial crisis. Then, when such a crisis gives us a "wakeup call," we may begin to reflect on, even question, the meaning of our lives.
Many people throughout history---artists, writers, psychologists, philosophers, even "ordinary" people---have speculated, reflected, and shared their own searches for meaning. Do we really get satisfaction from chasing one short-lived pleasure after another? What will bring us lasting happiness and real contentment? Can meditation or another spiritual practice help?
