Life

Questions I ask myself about Life

What is life? Life according to what I've learned, experienced and got to know from a lot of people is - the presence of a living person, the experience one gains through his (her) hardships, work, emotions, expressions, views of their own and others is life. The karma that one carries from their past life, which creates their present.

Life is a lot different to different people. Life to some is an experience from which they have to learn to become a good human being. Life to others is having luxury at their will and living life to the fullest - "King size". Life to some others like me is enjoyment, fun, laughter and expressions of freedom of will and choice, which is a little hard to live up with.

Life from my point of view is the presence of oneself on this planet, our motherland Earth and the universe as a whole. But what is the presence of us here for, why are we born as humans? Is there a reason to live? Why is it that everybody follows and does the same things in life? As in, be born, study hard, word harder, spend more time earning money than with your family, get married and have children. And then the life cycle continues in the child you have given birth to. Not that there is any other way of doing things, it is what we have been doing, but why do have to do what we are doing? What is the purpose of this evolution from the first human on the planet to this day, where the population runs in millions n billions of people living and doing the same things the other person does living in the US, Africa, London, Japan or even in India.

The question of us being human, the purpose of living a life, the evolution of mankind, the problems which we face today compared to those that our ancestors had, the problems we have created by the work system of today, the life we live in fear of death of ourselves and our loved ones. The life of hardships, ethics of modern world, the living society which has its own terms, rules, traditions, expressions of their community and the way others should live or not to. Is this what life is all about? No, but this is what we have created for ourselves.

Life according to me should me more peaceful, loving, carefree, will to do good for others and ourselves. A life in which we try to discover the reason for living life the way we are or the way we should be living, the goodwill of society as a whole. A life with freedom of expression, the will to choose what we want over what our parents wish for us. Not to bother about what society thinks of what we do as correct or wrong.

Life is a question, we need to ask ourselves about how to live it, how much time we spend with our families and friends over the amount of money one would want to earn. About the enjoyment we get with having fun moments with our friends who share our joys and sorrows. About the expression of laughter, smile on a persons face because of you. The time we spend with ourselves which make us realise how we are part of the family, friends and the community, what we would want ourselves to be than what we are. The way we live our life is totally based on what we want it to be, free will, laughter, joy n feeling of happiness, being happy of having those precious moments with our loved ones.

This is a blog of my varied views of life and the way it should or could be led.

In a very simple way on how we should live our lives, I'd like to end it by saying the following statement made by Pablo Picasso

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist after growing up"
