(a)Throw the question out of the window
(b) Keep searching until one encounters a clear
answer
Among these, the
most common one is: what is life?
Everything in
this universe has been assigned a task. Just like the sun is obliged to light
up every nook and corner of our galaxy, the plants have been assigned the task
to exhale oxygen for animals and humans to be able to live.
But when the
Creator obliges Man to go to earth and complete a particular task till the time
his soul stays in his body, then that length of time along with his experiences
on the planet is called “life”. Until
the moment the soul leaves the person’s body, one is said to be alive. When the
Creator thinks that the person’s life should end and orders the soul to return
to Him, then the person is declared by others dead.
Life is a gift to
one from the Creator. A gift that one gets only once; a gift, when not used
properly or to its full potential, makes one regret. The task the person has
been assigned is called destiny. Paulo Coelho has the following to say about
this: “....each one of us have our personal legend( destiny) to fulfill and that
is all. It doesn’t matter if other people support us or criticize us, or ignore
us, or put up with us- we are doing it because that is our destiny on this
earth, and the fount of all joy”.
When one begins
to understand life, one thing becomes clear: life is, in a nutshell, what you
want it to be.
