Jake, Lady Brett Ashley, Robert Cohn, Mike, Bill; these are the  people that "believe" they are searching for the meaning of life. They are characters in Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises. Some of you may believe that they are hopeless and will never find the meaning of life, however I believe that the meaning of life is different for everyone. In their case they spend their lives drinking and bull fighting, and this they seem to be somewhat happy with that. They drink all day long, which could be considered as their way of drowning their sorrows, however I believe that since they do not attempt to change their lives in any significant way, they must be truly satisfied with the way they live. Satisfaction is, in the end, what we are all searching for in our lives, and these few drunks have found satisfaction in what they think is a miserable life. They may not know it, but they are not trying to change the way they live so the must actually be happy with drinking and bull fighting. If someone truly wants to change, they will.
