the meaning of life
Once upon a time a visitor came to the monastery looking for the purpose and meaning of life.
The Teacher said to the visitor, "If what you seek is Truth, there is one thing you must have above all else."
"I know," the visitor said. "To find Truth I must have an overwhelming passion for it."
"No," the Teacher said. "In order to find Truth, you must have an unremitting readiness to admit you may be wrong."
