The meaning of life.

As I descend into the underground once again, I remember an advertisement I recently saw on a billboard. It depicted a baby with huge blue eyes. And the inscription read: You are needed by your country, you are needed by your family, you are needed by everyone who loves you!...
What is the meaning of our lives? After all, if a person is needed by no one, if no one loves him, if no one cares for him. If the person himself lives like tumbleweed, not thinking about anyone... Does he have a meaning in life? Can he bring benefit to anyone?
One morning, he will wake up and realize that there is not a single creature in the world that would remember him.
You are born... You learn to speak, to walk. Then you go to school, to university - you get an education. You have an incentive to live on, not to be alone in this society. To be useful.
Why do people end their lives by suicide? A person is left alone with his grief, he is empty, he no longer wants to live, he no longer has a desire to live. He simply doesn't want to get out of bed, go outside, communicate with people. He just wants to die...
Is the meaning of life in death? None of us lives IN ORDER to die. Everyone wants to live. After all, we didn't just appear in this world for nothing. At first, we don't think about what place we occupy in society, in the family. And that advertisement was probably made for those adults who remember that they were once children. Because when we experience fear, we remember ourselves as children. Childhood fears return to us. And that little kid - that's you or me. That person who needed to hear that someone still needs him. That there is a meaning to live. And that there is a desire to live usefully, not just to exist like a plant. Because someone cares about that.
