What Is Life

What is life? Life is just eating, sleeping and making sex to show your identity that, you have strength enough to produce kid, to earn your bread and butter to nurture your child And to prove the society that, you have not added any extra burden etc, etc, etc........ Am I right ? No, no, no, no...................... Then, tell me "What is life ?" Life is playing cricket, playing tennis, playing football and playing other popular games to show your talent in front of the people that, you have strength enough to make record after record to create a space in the hearts of people to generate crores of fan to reach new heights to earn million and trillion dollars etc, etc, etc......................... Am I right ? No, no, no, no....................... Then, tell me :"What is life ?" Life is doing politics defeating opposition and capturing power enhancing growth and accelerating development and to show your strength in front of the people that, you have muscle to do anything you want by creating turbulence to execute your need by killing democracy to capture chair by mudslinging to cover up your weakness by blaming rivals to increase pressure on them etc, etc, etc................................... Am I right ? No, no,no,no................................ Then tell me "What is life ?" You may be a player,may be a politician, may be an actor whatever you may be first of all you are a human being you should have, a prudent brain, to read the face of innocent a broad heart, to house billion hearts within you two strong arms, to extend support to the needy Yes, you may not have any penny but, If you will have a sacred soul to feed a poor by saving a single bread from you Then, time will definitely come whole world will salute you. Am I right ? Then, tell me "Is it life" Yes,yes,yes........... ===================

Keep writing with that intriguing voice of yours, Manmath. Certainly your last paragraph describes the most important aspects of this thing we call life. I would question where humanity had run off too, if we didn't have those qualities you described. Always more to uncover as we keep trucking along ... thanks for the reflection.

To me life is learning, no matter what age, by the example of others, rather good or bad, by learning from our own mistakes or the mistakes of others, for in every evil there is a lesson, and in every greatness a lesson too. Life is learning to live with each other in harmony, no matter the culture, race, gender or money or lack there of. I also agree with every wonderful word you have written my friend. Bravo! #7
