Abstract

Over the years, men have lived in the darkness of the meaninglessness of existence. They ask questions that centre on the meaning of life. Hence, one hears questions like: Why life? Is there any reason to live? Is life enjoyable? Is there any reason to celebrate life? These questions came from frustrated minds that have been fed with the wrong information about human existence. Here, he is tutored that life is a game of completion and comparison! He is told that man is on earth just to seek for fame and power! He is taught that happiness lays on material acquisition! He is told that money is the end and not the means for life! Here, man is given the false impression that there is destination which everyone is striving to reach! Hence, man is alienated from himself which is the source of life from where he gets the purest of joy for existence and enters into endless struggle till death. Hence, in spite of all that man acquire, he never celebrates his life for he believed that there is a destination for life, where he will reach and starts showing off his ego, fame and power to the whole world; not knowing that life is a process, a verb and an action, it has no destination which is why it is called existence. Therefore, this work takes the reader to himself, to understand the core of human existence by giving a philosophical analysis on the following themes: Living for the moment, Giving thanks, Celebrate your meal table. Decorate your Eden, Celebrate your life, and Celebrate humanity.
