Life has meaning by showing God's love through service to the needs of others. When attempting to answer the question of the meaning of life, each person will give a different answer, one that would reflect their age, religious beliefs, personal history and current circumstances. For many the meaning of life can best be described as the fulfillment of a person's basic survival needs, as noted by Simone Weil. He classified the needs of the body as food, shelter, clothing, and physical safety, while the needs of the soul were meaning and value, rooted in freedom of choice (Ambrosio, 2008). On a smaller scale, parents making daily sacrifices to care for their family can be equated to the same philosophy and it is the view that currently resonates with this writer. In the first module Dr. Ambrosio introduced and developed the images of the hero and the saint. He described heroes as people who live selflessly in search of self-realization and saints as people who live for others, accepting the love of God and man while showing love in return. Heroes overcame their fate and were best represented in the Homeric epics of Greek tragedies as city heroes. By representing both the hero and the saint we come one step closer to deciphering the meaning of life as stated in the thesis. According to the writer, human beings will fall into what the professor called “mutated versions” of a hero or saint (Ambrosio, 2008). For example, many saints in the Bible were repentant, converted, and forgiven murderers and thieves. In this way they became heroes of the Bible and dedicated their lives to the love of God. The ways of both were marked by personal sacrifice which accords with this writer's understanding of the meaning of life. In module two the central figures s...... half of the sheet ......ber 15).
