This essay describes Anton Chekhov's famous response, "A carrot is a carrot and nothing else is known."

A Carrot is a Carrot!!! There once lived a popular writer named Anton Chekhov. He wrote many outstanding and world renowned books and other pieces of literature. Perhaps one of the things he is most famous for is his simple response to a very common question. When asked "What is the meaning of life?" he very earnestly replied, "That's like asking what a carrot is. A carrot is a carrot and nothing more is known." …

…nothing more is known and nothing else needs to be. Simply live the life granted you the way you please. As is self evident, the thirst for the meaning of life was not quenched with Anton Chekhov's simple and smart remark. As much as you will read into it is as much reading into as the meaning of life needs. It is simply a waste of time and is not meant to be pondered on.
