The burning bush

What would you suggest would be capable of "giving someone the meaning they need to find life worthwhile"? Orpheus 00:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Physical properties belong to an object whether or not anyone perceives it. A solution of chemicals is stable and balanced regardless of whether or not an observer finds them to be stable and balanced.

Meaning and value on the other hand are totally different. A thing can only be "meaningful" if it is meaningful to "someone". The essential difference between a "someone" and "some object" is that a "someone" can choose.

Psychiatric medications can be forced on a person against their will. On the other hand, no one finds meaning in life until they pursue a meaningful life. To answer your question directly, they must decide to find that meaning.

"All who ask receive, all who seek find, and all who knock will have the door opened for them."--The burning bush 19:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
