My 15-year-old daughter’s take on the meaning of life
During a walk, the author asks his daughter about the meaning of life. Her response is surprisingly simple yet profound: just live and enjoy it. This suggests that true purpose lies in being fully present and appreciating everyday moments rather than seeking grand answers.
Apparently, 42 is the alphanumerical sum that signifies “To Be”. In the Buddhist context, it emphasises being fully present in the moment.

SINGAPORE – During one of our evening walks at Pasir Ris Park, I asked my youngest daughter: “Tell me, what is the meaning of life?”
She paused and said: “Just live lah, daddy. Enjoy it.”
