Life is something many would think they can relate with, but to many the meaning of life is different. Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, says that in his life, "Only through hardship, sacrifice, and militant action can freedom be won. The struggle is my life. I will continue fight to fight for freedom until the end of my days". I agree with Nelson Mandela's view of his meaning to life because being an anti-apartheid activist and revolutionary, freedom for dark colored South Africans was something he felt like he was born to fight for. Fortunately, Nelson Mandela continued to live by his meaning of life and continue to fight for freedom and equality in South Africa, and in 1994 the apartheid era ended in South Africa and equality was achieved.
For me my meaning of life is to live everyday and every moment with no regrets and to be happy. My philosophy of life is that there is no point in living everyday moping about how you could have done this or that. I like to live my life with no regrets because if I live a life full of regrets then I would never be pleased even until the day I died. I also believe that we should live a happy life. Similar to what I said above, I feel that we should not have to feel remorse or sadness that we didn't complete everything we wanted to in our lives. By "yolo'ing" life we live happier and healthier, which to me is the meaning of living.
