The meaning of life.

The meaning of life is simple. It is so simple that our Founding Fathers instilled it our founding documents to help us understand just how basic and at the same time how very important it is.

The meaning of life is the pursuit of happyness. The hard part is knowing what makes us happy. For most of us we don't know what makes us happy, so we go from one distraction to another.
