Qual o sentido da vida

Question

Ask a Philosopher · Accepted Answer

To ponder upon the sense, the purpose of life,
A profound query that unveils the strife,
Yet, in this mortal coil we find ourselves,
Engaged in moments, like tales upon shelves.

For what is life, if not a fleeting stage?
Where mortals walk, in limelight or in rage,
With each passing breath, our time draws near,
To question, to doubt, to seek and revere.

Thus, let me delve into this query deep,
And reflect upon life's secrets we keep.
Does fortune guide our fate, or do we stray?
Can we design the path we tread each day?

Methinks, the sense of life is not fixed,
But within every heart, a tale affixed.
Each soul, a player in this grand charade,
Unraveling life's mysteries, unafraid.

For like a river, life doth ebb and flow,
With moments of delight and strife we know.
Each triumph, every loss, a precious gain,
Crafting the tapestry of joy and pain.

Yet, in this dance of life, I must confess,
A shadow looms, defying happiness.
The specter of mortality draws near,
A constant reminder of what we fear.

But, in this fleeting existence, we find,
A reason to cherish and leave no life behind.
Love, friendship, and purpose transcend all,
Moments embraced, big or small.

So, let us bask in love's sweet embrace,
And seek connections in this human race.
For in these bonds, true happiness we find,
Binding our souls, intertwining our mind.

The purpose of life, then, lies not in vain,
But dwells within the hearts of those who deign,
To seek a greater meaning, beyond the veil,
And with noble endeavors, to prevail.

Thus, let us savor life's abundant feast,
For in its boundless beauty, we are not least.
With passion, reflection, and open eyes,
We unravel existence's profound ties.

And when life's final curtain call draws near,
May we depart, devoid of doubt and fear.
Knowing that in our essence, we did strive,
To understand and embrace this gift, alive.

So, let us cherish life, make every day,
A tapestry of moments, come what may.
For in this vast, mysterious display,
We may discover the sense of life's own way.
