Viktor Frankl answered this question. The meaning of life is a life with meaning.
The Three Sources of Meaning
By creating a work or doing a deed (Creative Values): You find purpose through your contributions, actions, career, creative projects, or goals you accomplish in the world.

By the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering (Attitudinal Values): You find purpose in how you handle hardship, tragedy, or a difficult fate with courage, dignity, and inner strength when suffering cannot be changed.

Questions asked:
What does the common good actually mean and how do we build towards it?
What do we owe each other as humans?
If you could design a better world for humans from scratch, what’s the first rule?
What is a hope you have for humans in the next 10 years?
What is the biggest barrier to human thriving?
How do we build systems that influence the good in each other?

The “Biggest barrier to Thriving” is the most simple yet complex thing in your life. That thing is what is BETWEEN YOUR EARS. The way you approach and view your creativity, and perception is literally EVERYTHING. The ‘man on the mountain ‘ can’t show you – though it’s possible he/she MIGHT get you closer. The best bet (as I can see it) is to simply be open to the moments in front of you, and to be as honest with yourself and the world as you can. Seems like a good start!🙂
