If we were to ask an adult or senior whether it is true that the question about the meaning of life emerged in him during childhood and juvenile years, he will agree and remember that he really thought about it, and not merely one time. In his youth these thoughts were very different from the current thoughts or the thoughts he has during adult or senior years, when it has become clear that there is no answer to this question and a person is compelled to flow along with the current.
All of us or all humanity who are adults, both men and women, find ourselves to be completely removed from the question about the meaning of life. We have literally extinguished it with various other things, as if it were completely unimportant. Truthfully, however, this is nothing other than running away. Do adults or solid individuals of 40, 50 or 60 years of age know the reason they are alive? Very simply, they have become accustomed to hiding this question from themselves in order for it to not cause them pain, since there is nothing worse than to encounter it face to face.
