The religion and the meaning of existence
Each of us is a being that exists in the world, as beings in the world, we require that all makes sense. Find direction and find answers to questions such as: why am I in the world or can be expected something after death. At this spontaneous formulation come to a double evidence, of our weakness before pain or death and the perception of our smallness and powerlessness, and the evidence of our greatness as living beings, the human being is the only one capable of making such questions.
And feel finite beings and to be aware of this finitude is what leads us to question the meaning of existence. This search for the meaning of existence is strictly personal, why not just that things have meaning to others, they must have meaning for us too, when ask ourselves about the meaning of life, is not only out of curiosity but rather a perspective experiential in that the generality of our action depends on the response that we find. Giving a direction and a purpose for the acts of our life, uncover the value it has, know what it means and relate things to prevent unrest and bring together all the issues that arise about the existence.
In the philosophy who consider that the existence has no sense as the case of Albert Camus stating that life is absurd. Jean Paul satre already has a more optimistic view is that defending the man who gives value to life. Or the existence has the meaning given to it by God, as in the case of Leibniz, which according to this thinker the reason for the man and the reason for the man and the world is in God's decision to have created .
