What is Life?

So here we are after a long time. We ask ourselves every time and at any time, what is life? Indeed. We always want to know that. Raison de etre, destiny, fate, all these lead us to confusion. What is life. We ask this when we are young, when we are growing and when we are old.

Should we disillusion ourselves by saying there is nothing in life? That we are here by accident? That there is no truth but the present? There is nothing which is prescient?

Actually, simply put, there is nothing. Sorry to burst your bubble. The person next to you may not be as successful as you and the person on the other side may be far more successful than you. But then there it is. Everyone dies at the end. Some wish for memories after death and some want to leave a legacy behind. We do not know really what exists at the end of the tunnel for us, but we want to believe that there is something. So religion gives us after life. Science gives us cryogenics. Philosophy gives us history. Be all that as it may, at the end of it all, life is the means to an end. It is up to us to choose the journey. There is nothing beyond life and death is all that there is. Meanwhile, there is the simple acceptance of life as it is.

These are some of the reasons many of us look at life as.

Let us now look at some of the postulates for what is life.

Destiny or fate: This is perhaps the easiest say to choose. An acceptance of life. It advances the argument that everything is preordained. It is also simply put in Star Wars. It is your destiny. Even when you say, make it your destiny, that may also be preordained. But mostly it is religion that propagates and promulgates destiny. So it makes its own set of rules and regulations and we follow it. Unfortunately for many, instead of the final result of destiny, they bog themselves down on the rules and regulations and that itself is their meaning of life. This results in those taking advantage of the others.

Next time, lets explore more options from me on the meaning of life ...
