Life, as it is!

When one of my friends told me to write an article on 'what is life?', I thought 'what an easy topic!'. Once I got thinking about it, my inner self exclaimed, oh, you wish!'. There is so much to write about life and so little at the same time.

Google explains the meaning of life as 'existence of human being, animal or plant'. Well, to think it considering the realms of this world and human beings, my brain is not satisfied with this explanation. Mere existence cannot ever be called life, unless scientific. Life is way beyond just existing, it is 'living' that existence.

You want to know what life truly is? Look at the eyes of a toddler who smiles at you without even knowing you. That spark in his eyes depicts life. Try feeding a hungry person, that satisfaction and proud which you feel for yourself is life. The happiness on the face of a student who has studied day and night and got into merit, that happiness is life.

Moreover, life is enjoying the present moment and giving your fullest. Life is having a purpose to your existence- to help the needy, to foster peace, to make a difference, to turn this world into a better place. Life is having the courage to smile when you are crying inside. Oh, I know that's braveness but that's what life is too. Life is not being regretful of the past or worried for the future. Life is beholding nature with its colours and diversities. Life is the comfort of your own pillow after travelling the world. Life is to improve yourself, to care for others and to be kind with the world.

In short, life is mean and serious but fun as well. Life is a bitch but a blessing as well.

So, keep your past and future aside and live the moment because it is not going to knock your door again. Explore and know your journey as much and as far as possible. Take risks, face challenges, fail but learn! Work hard, stay humble and be happy, after all that's the whole motive of living.
