What makes human life meaningful? As a society, we still often see the value of literature and we see the worth of science, but we aren’t sure about each other. What makes human life meaningful is that we must find meaning even in our darkest hours. We must be able to find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and find meaning in our suffering and we must also be able to appreciate the beauty of the sunshine or the beauty of a rainbow or the beauty of a sunset or the beauty of a sunrise.
