The Meaning Of LIfe, according to Duncan…
The Answer to the Great Question…
and how to be happy despite.
First the question.
What is the meaning of life?
Then the answer.
Some say it’s 42, others say that life has no meaning, but the real reason is…
To have something to be taken away,
to suffer.
To be miserable.
No matter how happy you are you will always want something that you can’t have, always want more, always lose something that is very important. To avoid it you undergo things that make you wonder, why are you alive? why do you deserve life? If you go through so much to avoid it, you just miss the good things in life, you can’t enjoy anything so you cant lose anything.
So why, why do you continue, yet you stay until you die, you suffer… until you die. But if you go through life and just live it you get to experience all the wonderful things that there are, for not all things were meant to be taken away from you…but from others and you don’t have too much taken from you if you can get by with the little things and you recover from the big things than you can be the happiest person on earth. Although just getting over losses won’t make you happy. You need to not want a lot, the less you want the happier you are,YOU WILL BE SAD AT TIMES NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. IF SOMEONE ELSE IS SUFFERING THAN YOU SHOULD PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR POSITION and do what you would want them to do for you (unless its totally rude or would only make things worse). If everyone stuck up for each other than we would be sad less often and not as sad.

1.)Laurel Sanders my mother, made me the person I am today
2.)Bowen Sanders, one with Laurel big part
3.)Mr. Miller and Mr. Mirick these people built a foundation for my knowledge
4.)dustin my dad for teaching me what not to do
5.)Mr. Leftler for making me slightly more responsible and teaching me from grades 6-8
Yes, he’s not even 12 yet, no he hasn’t lived with me his whole life, he’s been split up oddly due to circumstance I could not change, and he amazes me every time I see him.
For Duncan:
Your wisdom at the young age you are at this moment is an inspiration to those older people who have not yet found this wisdom in their hearts. It sounds as though the teachings of the Buddha are within you, I know that as you grow these teachings will blossom. (Whether you practice Buddhism or not)
I love you and miss you,
Auntie Bambi
