three major assumptions:
1. Life always has meaning. Life has meaning under all circumstances and
-at all times. There is something instinctive in the human being that leads us to want
preserve life. both for ourselves and also for those whose lives we see to be in danger. Moral,spiritual and existential danger.
Many insist on the meaning of life as a reality.
2. The greatest desire of the human being is to find meaning.
Since we have been on this earth, human beings have grappled with fundamental questions such as Why am I here? How should I live,given that i must die? Where and with Whom do I find answers?
Is there something beyond just my own existence, an overarching meaning to life itself?
Life as a journey does provide answers. We recognise that each person must grapple
with and find answers to these big questions.
3. Human beings have freedom of choice. The human being always has
the capacity to make a choice, to take a stand. We have the capacity to choose
meaningful directions in our life and something within us ( conscience) will make us uncomfortable
with choosing anything else in the longer term.
A summary of life's 3 major assumptions.
Meaning.
Search.
Choice.

I was sort of being disturbed by the similar question that you brought up in this post. I told my mentor in church : I am doing more than good, if you judge by everything I’ve achieved and I also know it’s not easy tasks which means I was doing really great. But I still felt empty and confused about my life, like what exactly brings me here and what’s the reason put me here. Especially, when I was overwhelmed and exhausted. My mentor, she is mentally strong and faithful, telling me that every question I have that I have to find it in bible and my therapist also said the same thing to me once that you have to ask God by yourself. I haven’t got the answer and still struggle every now and then, but I am just consciously mindful and tell myself to be faithful when I doubt every thing. I hope it make sense and helpful to you
