Margaret AtwoodWhat am I living for and what am I dying for are the same question.
About This Quote
What is the reason why I am living? What is my purpose in life? The only answer that satisfies any of us is that we are all here to live our lives to the fullest. Rather than thinking about what it’s “all about,” we can simply think about what it’s “about” for us. We don’t have to know what is beyond this life in order to live our lives to the fullest.
