I'll do my best to be as interesting as possible because this topic is so overly-saturated that I'm sure everyone's sick of it. To ease you up I'm not here to tell you that you'll realise "When the time comes.." In fact, to avoid making you feel misled, I'm not here to give you the answer to "What's the meaning of Life," but only to share a perspective.
Honestly, everyone can answer this question yet it's entirely subjective. The way I answer myself is by looking at a Rubik's Cube. It starts all shuffled, colours just about everywhere. But that six-sided masterpiece has six centres which have their own, unmovable colours that never move. Every centre represents a different aspect of your life; be it love, knowledge, emotions in general, interests maybe. As I said, it's subjective.
Most likely you end up being unsure how to solve the entire thing. But after being shown a couple algorithms to how this fuckfest works, you eventually figure out the first colour.
No drum rolls? No applause? Even after working so hard?
Really, you've nothing else to do so... Why not finish the rest. You pick another centre, already confident with yourself, you know a couple algorithms, it should be like bread and butter. You move this row, then that row, so on and so on until you see a colour, whose place isn't here.
Your initial colour is fucked up and you panic so you put it back but then your second colour is shuffled and then you panic even more.
Yooooooooooooooooooooo.
Yeah, you eventually calm down. You feel like solving the cube will take you a lifetime. Those "algorithms" you thought were of great use are nothing compared to the ones you've got yet to learn. Anyway, since you're calm now you realise that the key to solving the cube is to balance everything out. You will need practice, definitely, but When the time comes, you'll turn the last row and solve the cube, once and for all.
Fuck yes it was worth it.
I'm pretty sure you've made it out by now that the cube is your life and that the first solved colour is like the tutorial or whatever, but in the end, all I want to say is that it takes practice and experience to solve it, and that's my way of seeing it. There are probably plenty of ways to see it but that one seemed pretty creative to me.
So how do you see it? :>
