What is life for?

Abdessalam Yassine

February 29, 2024

What is life for? This is the central and vital question, the question no one can suppress of muffle, the question no one dares consider foolish.

But it is a question that is not to be asked publicly in an age deprived of sense and occupied with other problems that have more to do with “how” than “what for.” Curious about everything, open to the universe of space as well as the universe of molecules, meddlesome, punctilious, inquisitive into the least detail about every subject, our technical and scientific era remains, for all that, tragically irrelevant to this question.

The meaning of life, the purpose of life, these are issues no longer taken up except within the closed circle of philosophers infatuated by metaphysical speculations, or by those who are marginal to modernity, such as Muslims and a few other outmoded types.
