LIFE: deeper lies unsolved questions
Mulla went to the forest for the hunt, with a bag, a gun and words from his wife to open a bag before hunting anything. As he reach the middle of the forest he opened his bag and there was a picture which was captioned as " DEAR LOOKS LIKE THIS, HUNT ANYTHING THAT LOOKS AS THIS AND brings IT HOME"
This is the situation of everyone here, we don't know about the deer just want to do hunting. The same goes when we try to answer the question," what is life?". We are unaware of it but can spend 2-3 hours talking about it. Why don't one understand that while we do this, it would be like planting grains in the middle of the desert? Who cares! Everyone here is busy following the money, profits, and dreams.
I have read many articles, and books associated with life and they are convinced to one point that life is the journey from birth to death. If life was a journey means starting from one point and ending at another.
If life is a journey, no one here questions here " Are you born with your will? Did you choose this life? Do you die on your will?". And the answer is a big NO. In this dropship isn't it relevant to ask a question," Birth was not in our hands? Death too is not in our hands? Between these two uncertainties the time that we spend, was said as "MY LIFE" How it becomes our life? It must also be uncertain. If must not be ours, must be benediction Of someone.
What is the answer to it? Is our life our own? Are we forced to live here? Or are we living on our own?
No one knows the answer, just we go on making assumptions that this is life and that is life but in-depth, but no one is found to dive in-depth.
Isn't it like a mule carrying a picture of deer?
Besides the journey definition, people use a definition based on their experiences. Like people say life means struggle, life is a love that needs to be strengthened, and freedom is life. There are billions of people in this world with different experiences in their life, it becomes billions. Ways of defining it. And those experiences are based on the environment that we live in. People living in poor countries with the scarcity of food may take food as life and that differs from the people of first world countries.
In this context, no one asks the question that, is my life of mine is how it is different from Elon's? Isn't the life for all?
And some philosopher tries their best to give a distinct answer from other starting with that life is a flow, let it flow.
Again there we get space to ask a question if it is a flow, what are the driving forces? Who maintains the law of flowing? And philosophers are very clever when they get hard they just leave it to God and end up saying God does.
If you heard this answer, God maintains, immediately ask another question," IS AM I LIVING THROUGH GOD OR GOD IS LIVING THROUGH ME?"
If he gives the answer God is living through you then ask him," what am I doing here then? Just fulfilling the desires of God? Who am I? " or if he says, you are living through God, ask him " why he needs me to live can't he exist without me?"
See, how deep we dive into the ocean to search for an answer to the question of what life is? We end up asking a question. Many of us avoid this hassle situation so, we don't jump into it, we do swim at the surface.
In the above, we see three approaches to life as a journey (period), experiences and a spiritual view, when we contemplate on the surface it seems we understood everything but when we start to question as I did on this post things become convoluted. There is no stopping point at the bottom.
At the end of the day, we can say one thing about all the answers is that either they all are correct about life or not they all are wrong. We can't make one entity as correct in this case.
Now, it depends upon how we take life, shall we stop to the depth where people mostly reach or dive furthermore. Better understanding lies below I assured you.

I see your point but I'll love you to understand that life's way deeper than skin so all we have to do is, make our existence count and stop asking questions that might confuse us the more. You write well, too.
