AN ANALYSIS OF LIFE : If we were to ask anyone "What is it that one would cherish and desire most in life?", the answer by a majority is likely to be 'Happiness'. Of course, there could be others who may say 'Love'. However, apart from the above two, there is one other which is even more dear to anyone, to preserve which, one would go to any extent. That dearest possession, is 'Life' itself ! Self-preservation is the strongest instinct in any living being. Now, whereas 'happiness' and 'love' are definable and comprehensible entities, being an 'experience' and an 'emotion' respectively, we find that 'Life' is rather a complex entity, meaning different things to different people. Not only that. It is different things even to the same individual, at different times, at different places, in different situations, in different moods, under different circumstances, and, looking from different angles. Life is a multi-faceted, multi-dimensional entity. One can go on jotting down one's concept of 'Life', as one passes through different situations, and, different circumstances, and then, imagining what it could be, viewing from innumerable angles. I could figure out forty such angles (there could be many many more), and here they are:
WHAT IS LIFE ?
01. Life is an Adventure. - - - - Willingly undertake it.
02. Life is Fun. - - - - Surely, enjoy it !
03. Life is a Challenge. - - - - Face with all might.
04. Life is a Game. - - - - - Play it well.
