Meditation can be on anything when we concentrate the mind with intent. Prior to answering why meditate, and the benefits of meditation, please read the section on what is meditation.
As described, even sitting in the lounge zoned out listening to some beautiful music is a form of meditation. So now the question changes to, do you really want to meditate and why do YOU want to?

Sure, it is something the whole human race should so, but each person may have a different reason for themselves. So there are many different methods which can yield results suited to the needs of the individual. If you’ve studied some spiritual literature which talks about why meditate, or perhaps an article which explains the benefits of meditation, especially in terms of health and intellect; these could be the reason why you are here, seeking to know a little more.
