Scientists, philosophers and many great thinkers have consumed their whole lives in search for meaning of life.To understand the answer, We have to understand why we care about this question in first place or why only humans care to find the answer?    We Sapiens have great power of imagination and its the one of the most important power we have, followed by emotional intelligence and cooperation.
