铅笔英语,每晚睡前故事。

看世界人生百态,品人间真情冷暖。

多一种语言,多一个纬度,多一段故事。

A young woman climbs to the top of a mountain and finds a mysterious old man meditating.


The old man waves her over, “I see you have come here to learn the meaning of life from me.”


The woman is weirded out, “I didn’t realize life was supposed to have a meaning… and who the heck are you?”


“You didn’t come here to learn the meaning of life and don’t even know who I am?!! Why did you climb up this mountain then?”


“I just like to climb mountains,” the woman smiles sheepishly.


I remember being much younger and watching a kid’s show where someone goes to the top of a mountain to ask an old master type the meaning of life.


I wondered if there was an old master type I could find that would tell me the meaning of life, but I eventually grew older and asked myself why would I trust someone else to tell me the meaning of life.


I ultimately concluded: There is no universal meaning of life. People impose meaning on their own life instead.
