Why do people ask questions about the meaning of life?
-
People ask about the meaning of life as they age and look back on the things they have done and the things they bought and start to look at the future and see how these things really dont matter in the scheme of things.
-
People ask questions about the meaning of life; Because most people have a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment morally but independant of God, and towards the end of their lives they are perplex and unable to have that inner peace in their hearts due to a lack of Spiritual values from God. Moral values is not enough by itself. As per Solomon a life without God is a pursuit of the wind. Everything is futile.

I think people have an innate or inner yearning for satisfaction and fulfilment. Especially in tough times, people need comfort, encouragement and assurance, etc. so that they can move on. But in the process they have come to realize that things may not necessarily go the way they expect, hope or believe. Then thoughts about what would happen next in life press them to ponder about what the present or future hold for them. The uncertainty and complexity of the present or the future inevitably oblige them to do some reasoning about life: its purpose.
-
People want to know what the purpose of all the work and stress that they must endure, the sadness, loss, pain, evil…
-
Because we all have a desire to know our purpose and the purpose for this life we live.
