The Karamazov brothers: Fiódor novel Dostoyevski

«What follows death is so problematic … Nothing is so afraid of and thinking about that. Is it true that I have lived to disappear immediately without leaving a mark? For the grass to grow useless over my grave? It is chilling. How to know the truth?"

Dostoevski, the Karamazov brothers this text raises one of the great questions of the human being. What do we live? What is happiness? Who I am? What kind of life is the best? What path should I take? These are questions about the meaning of life. Although it seems a lie, sooner or later we must look for an answer and to the extent that we are able to find it will depend on the degree of happiness on which we have. What we cannot do is spend the day waiting for the class or work day to end, the week waiting for the weekend to arrive, the months to come the holidays and the years to arrive retirement, that is not life.

But what does meaningless? Has two meanings:

1. SENSE = meaning. We want to know the true meaning of the events of life, why of the things that happen to us.
2. SENSE = address. We want to know where, the direction we must give to our life, what will be our end, where we are going, even beyond the disturbing moment of death. Sense of life is the union of the two meanings of the word sense: meaning and direction.

Life is a path in freedom; To every decision we make are many new paths that are presented before us.

Each personal life is an enigma to discover and must be interpreted to find meaning. In the same way that when one is worried about a problem and when he finds the solution, a feeling of joy makes his way in us and we begin to see more clear what the way to follow is, the same thing happens with life: as soon as we find The meaning to our existence, seems as if all roads began to be perfectly pointed out and we no longer had the unease of being lost, beginning to enjoy and be happy at every moment. Happiness is intimately linked to meaning and to the extent that we are making the most accurate and full of meaning decisions will be our degree of happiness.
