what is life? (1)

We are born, we live, and we die. Nothing more, and nothing less. What is the point? We are born into a world characterized by the mere word of "existence". But what really is existence? We die, and there is nothing but the lifeless bones that we leave to our descendants. We are here with no purpose.
Life can mean a million things and it can depend on a person's perception as to how it is viewed.Life can be a great journey in which we travel roads with ease or choose paths that are tough. Sometimes we have to change our destinations so that life is what we need it to be. We often welcome travelers to our side only to have to bid them farewell later on. It is important to appreciate their company while they are there because these travelers are on their own journey, and through one another you enrich your trip.We are travelers within this journey called "Life". Our paths may cross, and if they do, I wish you well on yours.
A. Powell Davies quoted that "life is just a chance to grow a soul." I believe that life is all about the evolution of the soul. Each experience on this dimension is not just a mere coincidence; it was meant for a reason. Some of these instances are not only for us to experience; but also for others to observe.
Every ripple of life affects someone else's life. That's the reason we are all here together; to learn from one another. We watch and observe from what we see and experience, and register these experiences deep within our soul; for future reference.
Each day of life reflects joy and also sorrow. You feel the deep love in your soul for your family; and then cry in despair as one of them passes away. A beautiful sunrise warms your heart with its beauty, and then you witness someone get mistreated or abused. This is what life is about.
There is so much to experience that it seems almost impossible to enjoy it all. There is so much to touch, to taste, to feel. The good and the painful. It's there for the taking. Without the pain that life sometimes dishes out, we may not know how good the rest of it can be. So mind you, the pain is part of the lesson. It makes the soul stronger and the mind more open. No good without bad. No happiness without sadness. There is a balance with life.
Life is a choice. It is a series of paths that lead us home. Your life is what it is because of your path. Your fate is yours to create and the meaning is yours to understand. Right path. Wrong path. Who's to say? The only thing for sure is that it is yours.Life is what you want it to be. Whether you know it or not, your destiny is in your hands. You have a choice to change your life to fit your immediate environment. Your awakening must begin from inside. Every thought and action you make now will shape your future life.But for me life is the period between birth and death, it is short, meaningless, and empty and life is only a series of rising and falling events
