About This Quote
When you are in the body of someone else, you are asked questions that are easy to answer because you are not the one asking them. People often ask me, "What is the meaning of life?" I say to them, "It's a question you need to ask yourself." Most people don't ask themselves this question because they think it's too complicated or too personal to be asked by someone else. However, there will come a time in your life when you have to ask yourself this question. Even if it's just for one second, ask yourself, "What is the meaning of life?"
