What is life (Extended)?

Life itself is an opportunity to live a meaningful life and enable others to do so. It, therefore, doesn’t matter for how many years you live all that matters is a quality of life and how well you live your life. Plus, how many lives you have been able to touch by giving them encouragement and love.

On the second thought, the fear of death always hovers over our lives. Everyone has to face death sooner or later, but that doesn’t mean that it should deter us from living life to the fullest or achieving our goals. A person is wise only when he/she is prepared to meet the doom when it comes, but till that time enjoys every bit of it. It is a sense of preparedness. It is a journey in everyone’s life wherein we have to traverse the bridge of death to be able to wake up to a life eternal.

And believe it or not, but the secret of life is best known to those who are not attached to anything profoundly so much so that they remain out of touch with worries as well as shifting fortunes of life. These are the people who do not measure their lives in terms of materialistic possessions, but by measuring their lives in terms of people they cannot live without.

Life is also about stewardship, it is being given to us by God in the form of trust that we will make it meaningful in whatever we can. Such a thought at the back of our mind will always remind us that we are answerable to God every time, for opportunities, treasure and talent he has gifted us with.

This is attuned with the words of Jesus, who said, “Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” The other truth is that wrong things taking place in this world will be made right and that God will take care of his children and good deeds will certainly be rewarded.
