WHAT IS LIFE

WHAT IS LIFE

What is Life? Why are we here? Why did God send us here? Is life a test or punishment or a joyride? I do not know the answers of any of these questions but I will tell you what I believe in and by which I live my life.

I believe that we are here because our parents wanted us here. Whatever we were, whatever we are, whatever we ever will be, we owe it all to our parents because they are the ones who brought us into this world and nurtured and nourished us into full grown intelligent human beings. There are hapless children called orphans who are brought up by institutions but their case is sadly different. Nevertheless they are too brought into this world because of the will of their parents.

I believe that we are here because of our parents and God has probably nothing to do with it because I don't believe that a supreme being like God will concern himself with the birth of each and every little puny human. I am sure that God has other better things to do than to keep a record of each and every birth each second. Of course this is what I believe in and there is no way of confirming it but my logic says that I am right so I believe I am right.

I have used the word “puny little humans” because that’s what we are when compared to the majesty of God.

I believe that our prime job is to take care of our family and people around us if we can. I believe that life is all about finding solutions to the problems. You are hungry, hunger is a problem, food is the solution. You are thirsty, thirst is a problem, water is the solution. You need shelter, it is a problem, house is the solution. You are jobless, unemployment is a problem, a job is a solution. You have a disease, disease is a problem, medicine is the solution. You are lonely, loneliness is a problem, company of friends is a solution. You want love, lack of love is a problem, well a wife or girlfriend is the solution. You are depressed, depression is a problem, antidepressants and therapy is the solution. If there are a thousand problems in life then there are a thousand solutions.

You see my point? I believe that life is all about finding solutions to the problems and taking care of our family. Finding solutions to the problems is just a way of spending whatever time we have been assigned on this earth until death comes to embrace us. Then if we are lucky, our duties and responsibilities will be taken care of by our next of kin.

Sincerely Yours
