People have so many questions every day that they let escape their mind. These questions can sometimes be in relation to the deeper meaning of our existence that we are trying to figure out. Life moves so fast these days that it is hard to figure out what life actually is. We don’t have moments to spare due to the importance of progression, but it is important to take a step in a unique direction that not too many people choose to go down today.
Pick up a book and read some philosophy. Why should you do this, though? Because philosophy is the study of our minds, reasoning, existence, and what it is "to be." Philosophy teaches us the questions we have internally. It also gives us answers to life that we were not aware of. There is a lot we choose to block out and not get exposed to, which makes us restless and in search for something to give our lives meaning. In reality, the meaning is to exist. At least, that is my take on existence, but you can find your own meaning through philosophy.
So take time to live in your mind. See life in a new way and it will change your entire perspective on the purpose of life itself. Philosophy can teach us how to best communicate with our internal struggles. Also, we can understand relationships with other people. You will be able to communicate with your own mind effectively to guide you in your life, based on philosophical information.
It may be difficult to connect with philosophical perspectives if you have never found yourself reading Aristotle or Epicurus. You must adjust the way you view the world. It is a matter of taking the time to see with a new set of eyes. But once you work your mind to think in a new way, life becomes a lot clearer. Those "why?" questions about life are answered. It helps those who have a restless soul and have too many questions that Google cannot easily answer.
There is also a significance of the past. Great philosophers had time to think about the meaning of life. Their purpose was to be great thinkers and they didn't have the technologies that we have in the 21st century. There was much less distraction when it came to critical thinking and progression for the study of humanity itself. Putting value on what the past can give you is a gift. There is a lot of good that can come from philosophical thinking. The answers are all there for you, curious people, just take the time to give your mind to philosophy.
Here are some starters:
