What is Life?

I've always wondered as to what exactly is life? We live, we laugh, see others, cry when sad, keep growing day by day, sleep, wake up, forget, see people dying in front of us, and many other strange things which seem to happen in front of us. Is this what we call life? No, my views differ. Many years of research went into this field of study, yet what we get in return is strange. We still are clueless and are quite confused. Therefore, I am very tempted to ask my dear readers and critics, "What exactly is LIFE?" Confused, no answers, good show. Really a good show big time!

This is quite natural. No wonders. Life is but the energy within us, a very deep, dark, unknown, unfathomable core where lies a light which has the immense potential of destroying all the darkness present in the human hearts. If this light by any means fades away, Partially or maybe fully, I'll say that maybe we are ill,. On the other hand, if it gets extinguished, then maybe I will be very sorry to say that we, or for that matter, me, you or anyone in this world is but dead and nothing else.

Still confusing, isn't it? Okay, lets say,we take a kerosene lamp, that was used in the very good old days, and maybe are still being used in homes today, the burning fire always is a representation of life, the wick which is a complete representation of the person who burns and transforms from bad to good, from an illiterate to a scholar, from an animal to a social being, likewise, the bottle is a very true representation of the god gifted life form and the kerosene or fuel, a complete and a very true representation of our lifespan. Now, I can hope, that maybe I'm somewhat clear to all of us as to what basically life is. On fathoming deep into this topic through my work, on analyzing my way of living and mixing about with others and their anticipated or real reactions, and furthermore, through deep meditation sessions, I came out with my own findings that life is more like the lamp as I had said earlier, or furthermore, a diya, where the flame tends to represent the energetic but undisturbed light or fire which is life, the oil being the lifespan and the diya, the life form. The only thing that makes the diya, a more acceptable form of life as compared to the earlier mentioned kerosene lamp, is that a diya or a person faces serious windstorms which mainly represent bad values, selfishness, disobedience, and all the odds, including death, which it fights all its life in order to keep the flame burning even stronger or living a bright yet more shining life, or having a life as bright and as full of love as possible, but when the same person succumbs to the gruesome odds and leaves fighting for any reason, putting down his weapons signifying defeat, or for that reason can't fight anymore, signifying the finish or lack of oil, representing the fact that his life has come to an end, the so called life or the flame for that matter distinguishes and the person is presumably accepted as to be dead, or the diya representing life is said to have come to an end.

Deep revelation, isn't it. Must have been unfathomable to all of you. It should be, or else we are not humans. But, such deep thoughts have come into me from an unknown and undiscovered depth in my heart, quite miserably unfathomable as it may be but belongs from a glowing bright red hot corner filled with the fire of zeal and conscience, along with energy and knowledge acquired through meditation in my heart and soul. Conscience is but what I feel to be a kind of motivation deriving logically from ethical or moral principles that govern my thoughts and actions throughout.

Strange, it may sound but, for my readers, if they want to ignore the above written passage, I have a differentway of defining what is life. Here it goes. Take a look.
