Our lives matter because in a world with so many intertwining lives and events, it is easy to feel lost while trying to make sense of it all. Every person has a purpose on this Earth and without that person’s existence, that purpose is never fulfilled. Finding who you are and understanding what it means brings meaning into your life. Being surrounded by your loved ones and feeling connected with each one brings meaning into your life. One’s life matters not only because they owe it to themselves, but because it holds value to someone else too.
