What is life and What is death - How I perceive it.

 What is life and What is death - How I perceive it.


The single truth we all wish to ignore is the destined death that will remove us from the earth permanently. Whatever we may think we are discussing so intelligently, life after death is not perceivable to anybody. Lot of discourses by so many people (so called saints, gurus, pseudo-scientists etc.) could not give me a satisfying reply. Ultimately what I conceived life is;

-        Life is simply living till death like any other creatures on the earth


-        It is quite natural to die after birth. Timing & nature of death differs from person to person.
-     There is no super natural power in the universe. Whatever is happening is natural as it is happening to other creatures.

-        Human beings by virtue of their abilities, making the life comfortable or miserable using science & technology in a right or wrong way and many times creating problems to themselves & other creatures in nature.

-       Society will go on even after our death & at one point of time human beings also may get extinct like other creatures as it was evident from evolution.

-        There is no creation by anybody & whatever is happening is due to the evolution and is based on cause & effect principle.

-       As life after death is a mirage that nobody can chase, life on earth has to be made comfortable & worth living.


-        First, one has to learn to live a happy life & allow other to live happily. We cannot get happiness if all people around us are unhappy. Here comes the necessity to help others to achieve happiness. Of course, happiness means different to different persons which itself is a vast subject which I don’t want to dwell upon now. Here I am speaking of socially acceptable happiness one can get. 


      As Lincoln says “your freedom ends at my nose”, our happiness should not make others unhappy.

-        I don’t want to go into the jargon of things in which I never got any soothing reply w.r.t. the basic questions of life & life after death. I am very simple person with simple thoughts about life, i.e. leading a meaningful life to me & to the people who are with me (Friends or relatives close to me)


-      I had undergone the melancholy of losing my life partner in a horrible way & I am still trying to overcome that grief. I know pretty well that I lost her forever & I can’t meet her again by no means. But this knowledge never helped me to overcome the grief I am undergoing.
