The Meaning of a Search

How does one find the meaning of life? One friend of mine told me that as a philosophy undergrad she had a course with the title of "The meaning of life." Imagine failing that course (and you thought failing introductory accounting was bad)

But as a prominent psychologist, Victor Frankl, noted life is a bout searching for meaning. The title of his book says it all, Man's Search for Meaning where humanity is an active pursuant instead of slave of inner and subcouncious as in Freudian school and shaped by outside influence as in Behavioral school. Too bad that this third Vienese School got so little attention in the modern psychology.

But that make me thinking. What if one succeed with the search and find the answer early. Then what to do with the rest of life? Should we continue to find another, higher and better, meaning? Maybe it is also meaningful to share your findings and try to make it happened in real world.

But on the mean time, I need to find the meaning of micro, macro and microeconometrics. Exam time is coming!

*Just start another blog for joined writing on economics, development and other stuff with old friends (even a blog entitle La Vita Espressiva, the meaningful life, is not big enough to contain all life's meaning). Visit them at kaFE depok
