What is life? Why did I come to the world? How should I live in this world?
These questiones bothered me since when I was in primary school. I often thought about these when I was free.
In the famous prose “What I Have Lived For”, Bertrand Russell said that: “Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.” Longing for love, knowledge and pity for the suffering of mankind are the things that make his life meaningful. How about myself?
After years’ meditation, I gradually got an idea of life. Life is the precious chance given by our parents to exert ourselves, to perform ourselves and to improve ourselves. However, the time is very limited; there is an end not far away. Within this period of time, we have the power to fulfill it, or leave it blank. Everyone is just like a painter as long as he was born; all the materials for painting are prepared. Life is the process that we complete the painting before we die. We can fill in happiness, sorrow, glory and even evil.
Someone may affect us, but we are our own painter all the time, we have the absolute power to decide what we should draw.
In a nutshell, what we should do is just carefully draw every part of the picture, complete it without regret.
The meaning of life is just the process of drawing!

Hi Changjian,
I think your post could have been easier and more understandable to read if you organized your paragraphs. Also, I found that some words could have been replaced by other words to make the sentences more impactful. Eg: "Someone may affect us..." My suggestion is "There are, of course, influences from others."
Hope my comment is useful. Do comment my blog post. Cheers.
Yes, "complete it without regret"!
Thanks, Jian, for the insights! (But watch your language use..."these questioned"?)
These questions. I typed it wrongly!
Your idea is one of precious implications. I also a meditator. What type of meditatin do you practice? In last, you should enrich your essay as much as you can. If you are one of meditators, I am sure, your point of view is more broad and deep.
