For many years I sought the holy grail as to what the meaning of life was, despite Monty Python's depiction in the 1983 epic hit movie.

However, over the years I have come to understand the essence in the meaning of life cliche as simply being "the meaning you wish to give to life — both to your life and to that of others". For it can be anything — your choice.

This interpreted meaning may also give rise to why so many families end up Separating with opposing and competing views, yes conflict.

On a higher level it may help us to remember that Separation is a division of two parents, not necessarily a parting for the children from other meaningful relationships they may have, on either side. For is it not true that children too, have a stake in this meaning of life proposition, opening up pathways that may provide them with valuable meaning, despite the often difficult reality so many parents and others face in realising this.

Again, this meaning of life proposition may just come to mean that we are all here to learn lessons, face and overcome challenges, have fun and simply enjoy being here — no matter what age we are, what games we play or even who we pretend to be.

With love, kindness and peace
