      That is a really deep question! I once took a class in grad school called “immunophilosphy”. It was about “self / non-self” discrimination – how does the body know what is you and what is not you? What is consciousness? How do we develop consciousness and memory that enables us to know who we are? That we are alive!? There were no answers though, it was all left to our own interpretation! So give it some thought and maybe you will achieve some self-realization!!!

      The meaning of life is a really personal thing. For me, it is about always trying to find happiness and positivity, supporting my family and friends, and trying to do my bit to be a good citizen of the world. Life is short (geologically speaking!) , so its important to enjoy it while we can- try not to sweat the small stuff too much, and see the big picture whenever you can
