Sense
Meaning is the feeling that an experience, action, or life has meaning, direction, or value greater than a momentary reaction.
Definition
Meaning may result from values, relationships, responsibility, creativity, work, spirituality or the way of interpreting suffering. It is not always a ready feeling; is often created through commitment and choice of direction. In psychology, meaning can be an important component of well-being and resilience.
