I do not want to join any controversial talks about debating this is what life really is & this is not I am just here to share my perception no offense :)

Life is the proper combination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and other complex named elements. This is just an anatomy of compounds of life.

Let's travel back in the time, The Earth is thought to have been formed about 4.6 billion years ago by collisions in the giant disc-shaped cloud of material that also formed the Sun and our entire solar system. Then there were dust particles after the explosion so the little dust then came to in contact with each other and they stick together with the electromagnetic force. This same process continues over many years leading those dust to grow in the size of planets today. Then for water, some sort of iced asteroid collides with earth resulting in the existence of water on earth then slowly the initial less advance living organism was formed and gradually the human beings were evolved.

After the apes evolved into human beings now that was the biggest revolution in the universe. Life at that time was very hard for them they spent their most time on food (hunter gathered) and slowly the whole thing was changing now they began to colonize lands, they were engaging in war and the weapons they had were stones & wood. With the passing of time years and years the food production was started as it was hard for them to live their all life hunting the animals (required much energy & time and with declining of some species) so they had to search the alternative sources of food this lead to the increase in population along with the innovations. Now they were capable of producing foods, making weapons, innovations still they were on a war to conquer each other.

It has been just 73 years that we ended the world war II. And I think the life expectancy of a human is around 60 to 90 depending upon the country, climate, region, etc. This is basically small time compared relatively with the time of habitable earth. And with this small limited time, we are living the life against our will. Here, where are living for others, erasing our self-identity, losing oneself?

Do you know everything has its own time lets see the things we wanted 5 years back and the same things we get after 5 years do we still get the same satisfaction ?

No, we won't get the same satisfaction nor the time what if we enjoyed the things we had before 4–5 years? Another important thing that worked out is self-satisfaction. You know the dreams and desires are unlimited if a person has a bicycle today he wants a motorbike tomorrow, car day after tomorrow, plane, rocket and so on. Having greed is not a bad thing unless it is pushing you down morally, emotionally, socially and economically.

Look at yourself you are young, elegant, beautiful, motivated, inspired, powerful everyone wants you to know, be with you know, you feel like you are the one now after some years those things will be taken away by the time now realize what you still have?

In my opinion “life is just a bunch of self satisfactions, experiences, and knowledge”, these are the things that will last till the end. Do what you love. There is still a long journey ahead waiting for you with obstacles, problems, knowledge, compromises, new peoples, experiences, motivations, stories so just do not lose the hope stay focused, motivated, positive and you will create the beautiful life of yours.

See you!
