LIFE

PRIMITIVE LIFE

        The primitive life originated in water bodies by a chemical evolution by a series of chemical reactions. Energy from lighting and sun made amino acids (building blocks of proteins) and other organic compounds. Organic evolution may be the reason for different of animals and plants. Life really is a form of chemistry, a particular form in which the chemicals can lead to their own reproduction.

          Even the Earth is referred to as "the blue planet" because of the abundance of water on the planet. Over 70 percent of the Earth's surface is comprised of water, producing a vivid blue color when viewed from space. The Earth's oceans contain about 1.3 billion cubic km of space, which is 95 percent of all habitable area on the planet. In addition to covering most of the Earth's surface area, the oceans provide a habitat to somewhere between 700,000 and 1 million species.

          Here on Earth, we take liquid water for granted; after all, our bodies are mostly made of water. Experts say that in future severe conflicts may take place for water. Already some conflicts are existing between different countries, between different states in a country etc. Glaciers are melting at rapid rate due to rise in atmospheric temperature, sea levels may raise and low lying areas may gradually submerge. Potable water, water for irrigation etc becoming scarce due to pollution of rivers due to industrial wastes without proper treatment.

          All humans in this planet are one species --- homo-sapiens. Outward appearances like features, skin color etc. make up only tiny portion of genes. Archaeological evidence shows that Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. All living beings today in the world may be related (siblings) to each other by a common ancestor. Early humans migrated to different parts of the planet in their quest for survival managed colonize every continent except Antarctica. Even all religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.

MEANING OF LIFE

          As soon as writing was invented, ancient people inscribed their struggles to find life’s meaning. It’s a question that mankind has long struggled to answer. We’ve built philosophies and religions around it, gone to war over it, and debated it for centuries.

      The meaning of life is different for everyone and every species—the point of the existence of a plant is very different from the point of the existence of a fish. One thing that many interpretations of Darwinism agree upon is that part of the meaning of life for any living organism is to pass their DNA on to the next generation.

      Because everyone is different, the meaning of life is different for all of us. There’s no right or wrong meaning of life or any mysterious answer out there—rather, it is a mysterious answer within ourselves.

        The Epicurean’s meaning of life comes from: maximize pleasure, minimize pain. This isn’t as easy as it sounds, because one of our main sources of pain and anxiety comes from either abstract concepts that we can’t see or control or desires that we have no way of fulfilling.

   Life is a perfect classroom journey, we all want to make it through life with success and to do it courageously. Happiness and success are keys to life. 

   “Life is a Workbook of with bundle of experiences and problems to be solved with a chain of interrelated puzzles.”

     Life is not a bed of roses. Everyone experiences troubles and hardships as a part of living and we all would like to avoid them if possible. However, in the process of solving our problems in life, the soul acquires various experiences and learns many different lessons and to have knowledge of truth. Suffering, hardships and difficulties are opportunities for growth and learning, suffering is an opportunity to reflect on the mistakes of our own mind and to reform ourselves.

PURPOSE OF LIFE

      “The purpose of life is to live fully, to give wholeheartedly, to do best using talents and skills ,to be happy, to be useful, to be honorable, to learn, and to love and to be loved.”

     The learning distilled from the experience of overcoming suffering becomes “wisdom” is actually the purpose of life.

    Learn everyday something new—observing-surroundings, nature, animals, kids etc that gives purpose and meaning. Be optimistic and enthusiastic about your dreams. Our stories hold unique inspiration for one another.

     Researchers in positive psychology study empirical factors that lead to life satisfaction full engagement in activities and making a fuller contribution by utilizing one's personal strengths.

Tibetan philosophy preaches one major goal in life: to end the world’s suffering.

        Problems among people are due to zealousness, greediness, egoism, sadism and easy money making. Admire the mystery and beauty of nature--Black cow eats green grass and has red blood and gives white milk. 

        Every organism has chance of only one life to live and is unique. All that lives must die but some organisms get a little more time on this Earth than others.The ultimate meaning of life was to live in balance with nature and allow the continuation of the energy that gives rise to each generation and to live in such a manner that future generations may enjoy the same good life that we did. The only meaning is that we give to our actions, connections, desires, and the legacy we leave for future generations. We should make sure our actions keep the cycle of life going by transmitting culture, heritage, knowledge and values from one generation to another generation.

Forget Yesterday, Focus today to enjoy tomorrow!

Life is short as breathing!
