    Because the meaning of life is to alleviate suffering. :)

    When you know the meaning to life, then your purpose is clear: help all beings.

    That doesn't mean everyone has to quit their jobs and devote all their time to cooking meals for the hungry and caring for the homeless. For most of us, that would mean quickly becoming one of those homeless. Obviously this man has the resources to do what he does.

    Help all beings. Nothing more or less.

    Krishnan (hero in the video) is from a Hindu (Brahmin) family. I am often invited to Hindu ceremonies and the one concept that is stressed at all these ceremonies is "Service to man is service to God". Krishnan is true to what his religion calls for.

    Let's not judge him from a Buddhist perspective... he is not a Buddhist.

    No one "has" to anything. That's the beauty of it.

    To learn the meaning of life, look at what Krishnan is doing from the bigger picture. Outside of time and how probability interacts with the Rules of Nature.

    I think I need to stop now. :wavey:
