On Human Life, Its Meaning, and Value

​So the meaning of human life…

This is a common question that most of us ask to ourselves at some point in our life. It's a widely discussed topic in many books (like Man’s Search for Meaning and The Myth of Sisyphus).

  • How much free time I have gained or how much time do I owe (according to my current income).
