What is Life?

This question must have been raised infinite number of times , but till today there is no definite answer to it.  Once born, it is inevitable for us to die, no matter what happens in between.  

So why bother to live it in an ideal way (as preached to us). Life more than being a social and economic, is an end to end biological process. Right from our birth, as time goes by, a new biological process is taking place. Everything related to living being- thoughts, ideas, feelings etc are biological.  Every other process (psychological, philosophical, social, and economical) of life, barring spiritual, extends it. Many might argue that mind and its behavior is something out of reach of our body, still these thoughts are occurring in and due to, the existence of the physical body, and hence I feel mind and its processes are still biological(Hey, what am I getting at!!).

Coming to the question raised here, whatever innumerable answers we get, when we dig deep into them, everything, as I showed above, is related to this basic process in one way or the other.

The point I’m trying to make is, Life, no matter what anyone says, is primarily about SURVIVAL. It might be of self, or of others, but it is about instinct to survive. All the actions, feelings even the issues and problems of us is related to this instinct(then, why think about them and worry?).

Thus, I would say LIFE is, whether it has a purpose or not, for living (i.e. surviving), so LIVE LIFE.

(Am I being Eccentric???)
