Lifeâs about the search of meaning.
But this wisdom, repeated in proverbs and folklore across cultures and time, seems to be rediscovered, reaped and regretted every time a reflective pause presents itself in the continuum of eternity.
For Gordy Scoles, of Waverly, the existential dilemma sounds like this:
âWe apply meaning to life, and whatever we make of it to accommodate that meaning to whatever it is that we do,â he said.
What Gordy made of his own life, to use his words, is keep surviving and keep striving, a mindset he cultivated early on in life.
It has been tested by the sorrows thrown on his path by fate and spurred on by his faithfulness to sports as an educator and a competitor.
