# Meaning of Life in General

* "Meaning" is a human concept used to show a relation between facets of reality we call "events" or "things".
* The term "meaning of life" has little sense unless the meaning of the term is further specified.
  * E.g. what meaning of the word "meaning" is to be used, what level of understanding it describes.
* "Meaning" is the seeking of the answer for "why?".
* The meaning of something can be found on many levels.
* The question makes sense only when it is clear on which level it is considered.
* Example: I see beautiful leaves in the sunset.
  * I see the leaves because I have eyes.
  * I process the information because I think and because of the way I think.
  * I find it beautiful because of evolution and a multitude of other events and properties of my body and mind.
  * The leaves are there so that the tree can breathe.
  * The tree is there because life evolved so.
  * Life is there because molecules combined into self-propagating structures.
  * The molecules exist because of the ways elementary particles and interactions work.
* Some levels need a lot of work so that an explanation can be found, some can't be explained by the human mind, some can't be discovered or comprehended by the human mind.
* The reality in general doesn't have the concept of meaning; humans as a part of reality do. We might mistakenly try to look for meaning where there may be none.
* Language allows such a construction as "meaning of life", so we mistakenly try to understand even those meanings of the construction that do not describe anything.
