What is the meaning of life? Is it to make enough money to enjoy glory and wealth or to travel worldwide and see the beauty of all places? But there are so many poor people in the world, and some even have problems surviving. As for traveling around the world, some people can't even go out of the countryside in their lifetime, have these people lost the meaning of life? Most people spend their whole lives busy working, struggling hard to make ends meet in all their lives. However, some people are born with great wealth and realize the freedom of wealth. They enjoy the fun and happiness of life early. Is this the meaning of life? There are too many explanations about the meaning of life. Nevertheless, it is impossible to find a universally correct answer.

I tried to find the real meaning of life seriously, but everything brought me a different sense. I was in a mess, but life still went on. I participated in different activities, met various people, and gradually gained some explicit knowledge of myself. However, the question of "the meaning of life" always remains at the bottom of my heart.

Because of my engagement in my school's math club activities, I returned home late at night for a week in a row. Each night, a cab arrived on schedule. When I entered the vehicle, I looked out the window at the streetlights illuminating the trip home and the never-ending traffic on the road. And without realizing it, I observed the driver's fatigue reflected in the window. His eyes were bloodshot, and he kept yawning. To keep himself awake, he had to increase the volume of the car's music.

My heart fluttered, and a snippet of information raced across my head.

A thunderclap rang out, and I was startled unexpectedly. I turned my head and slowly looked at the glass window. A drop of rainwater slid down the glass, and the scene outside the window gradually blurred. However, the blurred, rainy background presented a clear, different scenery in my eyes. No matter the time of day or night, cabs with signs were always parked in front of my community or school. Guests may arrive at any time, and drivers frequently need more time to eat before picking them up. In the winter, they couldn't even drink hot water or wash their faces to relieve weariness. It was so scorching in the summer that the drivers were drenched in sweat, yet they could not afford to put on the air conditioning to reduce fuel costs.

With this dying scene firmly in my mind, a meaningful idea was rooted in my heart. When I was back at home, I worked through the night on a draft that I thought would alter the situation. The next day, I discussed the details with my friends and continued to improve my plan depending on their responses. Moreover, when I took a cab back home, I also sought the driver's suggestions and wrote down important details. I then approached the community council with the intention that they would also take the issue seriously.

Since then, a previously empty room in my community was renovated and allocated for the use of cab drivers. In this room, bottles of hot water and disposable towels were available. Drivers could wash their faces to perk up and no longer had to fight themselves to keep their eyes open. When they took a break during the summer, they could use the air conditioning in this room. This space allowed the drivers to get together and enjoy the respect they deserved. 

At that moment, I seemed to feel that my spiritual world and body felt slightly trembling, and gooseflesh on my arms confirmed my excitement. And in my head, some words came out of nowhere like lightning, as if splitting the fog that was deep in my mind. Notably, the driver is just a dust drop in this big world. Before we touch it, it is grey. However, when we interact with it, its color will change.  

What is the meaning of life? According to Robert Frost, “Two woods diverged in a yellow wood. I took the one less traveled by, that has made all the difference". Apparently, everyone's path is different, and we cannot define whether it is meaningful because we have different experiences. Nevertheless, the meaning of life is every step we take, every time we step out of our comfort zone, and the pursuit of helping those in need, which makes us more complete.
