My eighth grade science teacher once asked us something like, “What do you think is the meaning of life?” And being a precocious 13 year old, I was proud to instantly know the answer. Eighth grade Allison was certain that the meaning of life was to be happy. I was so certain in fact, that it was shocking when my teacher didn’t agree with me. But what other purpose could there be other than to feel joy and be happy? In a world full of so many bad things, isn’t the goal to strive for inner peace and pockets of pleasure?
I loved this one. Didn't know that I needed this :)
