Hi!! Friends - What is Life ?
This really a very very broad question to ponder upon n answer. Isn't it ?
You may term it : A million Dollar Question !!!
Scientifically , we can define Life ,"The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth , reproduction ,functional activity ,and continual change preceding Death ". The simplest definition to describe Life in few words is : The period between the Birth and Death of a living being . We may put it simply : Life is the existence of an human being or animal or plant -flora n fauna. In more elaborate words ,we may describe Life as the aspect of existence that processes, acts , reacts ,evaluates and evolves through Growth...and so on.....
The meaning of Life can be described in three words ; those are : Intelligence , Usefulness & Responsibility. The meaning of Life is to find YOUR meaning. What an splendid explanation indeed!!!
Mahatma Gandhi has rightly remarked :
The quality of Life depends upon the individuals activities , contribution to the Nation or Society. This does not not merely depend upon the Life span. Swami Vivekananda lived for only 39 years ; but he is still alive in our memories for his practical ,brave, courageous ,roaring Sayings , which aroused our Nation internationally- across the Globe. Similarly , the life span of Adi Sankaracharya was too short. But his divine works, deeds, preachings ,teachings aroused the whole nation . The words of our Gopabandhu Das that a man does not live in years, months ,days or moments...but a man lives by his good deeds. Please ponder over the great sayings of these illustrious masters...
Yes, Friends - when we say she or he lived " in full life " - we understand that she or he lived life with duty, dedication to works n deeds wholeheartedly in a very intelligent way. We may term this as the Art of Living. The lives of great men has indeed impressed n influenced our society in a very big way.
Now , Friends - we may conclude by putting the following Landmark Lines on Life :
LIFE is a Dream for the WISE ,
LIFE is a Game for the FOOL,
LIFE is a Comedy for the Rich,
LIFE is a Tragedy for the Poor...
Now, Friends it's our turn : how to live our lives ? Live Life King size!!!
In my humble opinion - Life is your work ,deed ,assigned duties , dedication for the society -where we live in...
Hence , Work as a Laborer ; Enjoy like a Princely Entrepreneur...
LIVE Life with Love & Laugh...
