Quiz: About the meaning of life

The question "about the meaning of life" worries and torments deep in the soul of every person. For a time, and even for a very long time, a person can completely forget about it, plunge headlong into the mundane interests of today ... . But life is already so organised that even the most stupid, fat or spiritually asleep person cannot completely and permanently dismiss it: the inescapable fact of approaching death and its inevitable precursors - ageing and illness, the fact of the withering, transient disappearance, immersion in the irretrievable past of all our earthly life with all the illusory significance of its interests - for every person this fact is a formidable and inescapable reminder of the unresolved, abandoned question about the reason for living.

This question is not a "theoretical question", not a subject of idle mental game; this question is the question of life itself, it is as terrible - and, in fact, even much more terrible - than the question about a piece of bread to satisfy hunger in dire need. Truly, it is the question of bread to nourish us and water to quench our thirst.
