Life: A journey to find the definition

It is an unknown truth that everybody on the Earth is up to the same thing, which leads them to find the mystery of life. It is quite hard to believe that this axiom is true. I can say that it is partially true because not entire humans are facilitated to the literacy. But whoever have ever looked in to the deep sky at nights to figure out the Milky Way far above and ever tried to relate the meaning of life with the existence of the parallel universe then they would end up with a very short question. Why the universe needs life? Why there were the several big-bangs and the evolution of the nutrients and proteins which created the life on it? May be on a different way the question ends up with a big confusion within us, triggering to find out the answer to the question, do we really mean anything to this universe? No one can answer. Even the great Albert Einstein was unable to find it, he was deeply close to find out the existence of life on earth and gave a theory of relativity and initially pointed-out that we are not alone in this universe. There are several universes which run parallel to the Milky Way, which we are on. And it is quite understandable that every positive charge is attracted towards the negative. Now the question is, if everything existing on this universe has to be balanced then what is the thing which is counter balancing the effects and lives here on this very Earth. Several mechanisms which occur in this Milky Way are balanced physically, chemically and biologically. What about the lives? What is counter balancing it? Answers were several times aroused as there are “Aliens” in to the far space but the existence of these creatures are closed up within as contradiction theories. Therefore, many philosophers have worked to find out a tiny bit of this answer and came out saying that “Life is a mystery”.

 This article is not trying to define the life but states the queries that the author has been through when he was deeply trying to find out the real reason behind the need of the existence of lives in this universe. Before we try to figure out the need of life it is very important to figure out the results of having lives on earth because, for example, if one cannot find what exactly a machine is doing then he/she has to look at the output of the machines to find out the application of it. At the moments, anyone of us can analyze what are the outcomes of the lives has given to this very calm universe. We had two big world lives massacre, which was then termed as world war-I and II. We are having a big unsolved problems existing on this very land about the confliction of the religion and power, which is the prime factor originating the terrorism and distinct imperialism, which separated the lands on the earth. We are having problems with lots and lots of things. We have created, by our own, the global warming issues, which are coming into play now a day around the globe as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and etc. These lists of issues go on and on. However, there are several important development has already reported and implemented in daily life which has changed the life of the creatures on the Earth. Science and education are the key factors on developing the human society, which has dragged the lives from the ice age to the Stone Age and to the Industrial age. Now, again as stated earlier, if we will try to find out the outcomes it may end up with some negative impacts, not only on the Earth, but to our very life too. For example, the nuclear science has given rise to the issue of the mass destruction equipments. It has been very hard to further go down, for the author, to find the impacts of lives on the Earth because it makes a normal healthy heart filled of agony and dismay. Having an astronomical perception it was very hard to find out the practical definition of the Life. Astronomically, one can end up saying the chemical composition of various nutrients and protein ions to define the Life but it is very hard to explain it if we will have a look at the present world, where impacts lies beneath every answer as a sin.

 It is a very short description where a well known issue is raised to find out the reason of having a life. It is always believed that, at least, we are here to live and let live not kill. However, it is still a question that if we wouldn’t be here would this universe be a better place, but it is sure that it is not even well now having creatures like us. The author has a feeling that, there are very few people who give theirs life a better meaning then the way at present people are giving theirs by relating them with power and the religion or whatever in a materialistic way. Thus, a question before hand to find the definition of life comes as “Do I have a life which means for the humankind and the universe?” Answer it and move forward to find the definition of the Life.

 THE AUTHOR IS STILL ON HIS JOURNEY TO FIND IT.
