When I turn to my inner world and ask myself, “What is the meaning of life?”, it's the word 'synthesis' which most often comes to my mind. As long as it isn’t forced, synthesis takes place, along with a balance of some description. A beautiful life is the synthesis of all of life’s major experiences. We are beings who ‘know’, who ‘believe’; we are imbued with moral values and an appreciation of beauty. In other words, it is, to a large extent, the cognitive, religious-inner-spiritual, moral and aesthetic experiences which bestow meaning on our lives.
The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgement.
J. Krishnamurti, India
