What is the essence of life?

On December 17, 2022, I got into an accident that quite frankly should’ve killed me. I want to believe that God spared me for a reason. But it also made me realize the fleetingness of it all,, the randomness of it all. We work, we build, we hustle… and it can be taken away in an instant. We plan, work and sacrifice for a future that is not promised. I’ve come to realize that you while you work to build your future, you should take time to enjoy God’s green earth. Enjoy the moment. Enjoy your friends, family, art, music, and anything that brings you joy. Seize the moment. Tomorrow is not promised. I’ve also come to realize that life is inherently meaningless. We give meaning to life. And so for me I choose to give urgency to the things I believe have some meaning. Because you don’t know how much time you have left. What is the essence of life?
