“But my life now, my whole life, independent of anything that can happen to me, every minute of it is no longer meaningless to me as it was before, but has a positive meaning of goodness, with which I have the power to invest it.” This is what impressed me most when I finished watching the film Anna Karenina. I have the power to invest my life! Yes, I really needed that kind of encouragement as at that time I believed that there must be meaning in my life, meaning in this world. Although I fully admire Sartre, who strongly advocates that life is meaningless, and the world is hostile, I still would like to think within this small being of myself, I got something that is valuable and important, for example my family, my friends, etc. I like Milan Kundler, too. He points out that life is like a draft that can never be well finished because we can not go back to the past again even once. We have only one chance to live and never live the same second twice. And then I decided that no matter what would happen to me, I would spare no efforts to draw my “draft” as beautifully as I can. These are all positive thinking. And then I saw this film and I was encouraged to go on with a stronger faith as I got a power to invest my life.
However, all of a sudden, everything turns around. My whole world seems to sink into a black hole, in which I barely see any meaningful existence.
I wonder why people live?
