Life, what is it?

Live Free.

People interpret this statement as having a free nation. Freedom from rule, that’s what people interpret free as.  Freedom is not just about the government, it is about how you live. Fear shouldn't be of life and death. Death is a thing that is bound to come. Life is the only race you participate in which you don't want to win. No one dies before their time or after their time. It is a natural cause just like growing up. There isn't much fun in living a very long life, if you have a memorable life, that’s all. The only thing is people should remember good things about you, and by people, I mean family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, etc. The basic idea is that people who know you should always have good thoughts about you.

If, say, someone is diagnosed with cancer and has been given a window of a year or two to live, he’ll probably be the only one who is going to live life as it was meant to. Not being afraid of life and death. That is living free, but to live free we can’t all hope to get cancer soon, can we?

Once you know how to live free, it’ll all be a piece-o-cake for you. People are going to make your life hell but that doesn't mean that you’ll allow them. They’ll try but it’s you who is going to stop them and If you’re lucky enough you’ll find that one person with whom there will be paradise for every second you’re with them, it’ll be the only escape from the never ending purgatory. You’ll feel good when you’re in their company.

 Death is something that is bound to happen. Death is inevitable, it comes just like life. If there’s life, there’s bound to be death or else it’ll be a stampede of people all over the world. People want to live for a long time, but if you’re old, sitting in a wheelchair not able to talk, need help to poop or to take a bath, you won’t be praying to live, you’ll just want to leave in peace.

Yes, there are deaths which are not conventional like being hit by a car, bus, etcetera. or being tortured by maniacs but it’s death. It’s all karma if you believe in it or just choices that you made. It’s all a matter of perspective through which you perceive what all is happening around you. People blame god, they blame the government, the doctors and other people. But it’s all bound to happen so why blame people, not everyone intentionally is going to kill someone, unless that’s their job.

So, there’s god, there’s choices, there’s people. Choose whom you’re going to blame because you know you are going to blame someone for somebody’s death.

There’s that or you can live without fear, stop blaming, believe in things, take risks and you’ll live happy.
