The meaning of life also includes a final goal. This goal isn’t to be remembered personally by the world, but for the changes I made to be remembered by the world. An example of a change would be to help cure patients of a serious disease, or to have a revolution technology that affects the world. While those are two of the more flashy changes that would be included in a meaningful life, there are also much less glamorous actions that would also help large numbers of people. An example of someone who led an unglamorous but still meaningful life is Alan Turing. He was a mathematician and cryptographer who during WWII creating a number of techniques for breaking German codes. Because of these techniques many lives were saved due to knowledge of German plans and attacks. But in 1952 Turing was convicted of homosexual acts and to undergo hormone therapy, and two years later he committed suicide. Even though he wasn’t remembered among the masses and didn’t lead a glamorous life, he still led a meaningful one due to all of the lives he saved. That’s the kind of actions that make a life meaningful.
