LIFE- And How I See It...
Life as you call it… has a very vital meaning in it. From the top of heavily snowcapped mountains to the abyssal depths of the vast oceans, from the chirping sound of a free bird to the soundless cry of an unborn child, from the vanity of the most powerful king to the humbleness of a hungry beggar, from the crowds of the cities to the deadly silence of the graveyards, from the happiness of the victory to the sorrow of a defeat, everything is life.
If we just roughly go through
the concept of life, we’d see a child who is born and grows up, passes through
the phases of childhood, boyhood, adulthood, learning the finest of the skills,
education, and making a way to earn a livelihood. After that he goes through a
transitional stage of life, marriage, and starts a new beginning with his life
partner. Now they give birth to new lives and the cycle continues while the
parents grow older and older and finally they cease to live. We can imagine
nations after nations living and then dying to be mixed up with soil and giving
space for the birth of new lives. Is it all? Is this all is life? What is the
need of such a life which has to die? Why not have no life at all? And of what
use they are while they live?
Life, whatever form it is in now, started from one man and a woman. It
passed on from generation to generation till it reached us. We have no idea
where we were until this life gave us the opportunity to know our existence. We
might have existed before, in some other form, but we didn't have any life.
This is like a number of balls having been placed in a row and the first one is
struck. It moves and strikes the next ball and gives its life to it. This continues
till the life reaches the last ball and there it ceases. So there must be an
end. There must be a last generation where the life would end. Similarly there
must be a start. The ball didn't get its life from nowhere. Someone had to push
the first ball. Likewise there must be some Power which gave us the life which
we have now.
