WHY DOES MEANING MATTER?
“Without a sense of meaning in life, we distract ourselves with pleasure. Find
me an addict and I’ll find somebody who doesn’t have a sense of meaning.
Find me an employee who isn’t productive and I’ll show you somebody who
doesn’t think life is meaningful. Find me a father neglecting his children and I’ll
show you somebody who is likely trying to find meaning in a pursuit they will
soon find empty. When a person lives a life of meaning, they are more productive, more
socially engaged, much more optimistic about life, less likely to get ensnared
by conflicts, and have a stronger idea of who they are, what they want and
what matters to them in life. In short, people who experience a deep sense of
meaning are healthy.” – Donald Miller
