What is life?

seen and unseen? They too, need air, food and water, but what really make the difference between us and all these flora and fauna is our ability to have five senses, our more developed brain, which enable man to use it for their betterment. With that, man learns to talk and learn to recognise words and language. This is how people can communicate, just like how the ants and bees would communicate. However, ours are better because we can use more to communicate, not only restricted to pheromones or body language only like some animals do.

Look at these, we only need air, food and water to survive! But there are definitely more to life if we are human beings. If you want a great life, a success in life, we are more than just animals and plants. We build house, we make plays, make furniture, bake and cook, and many many things you can think of. There are so many professions and work in this world. These are the creation and results of mankind. However, man are always not satisfied with what they have.

What makes human being different from that of plants and other animals is also because of our more developed heart. Our heart is a special organ, both physiologically and spirtually. The heart is the battery of our life as mentioned at http://www.peaceinspire.com/20 08/02/21/answers-to-life/ . Our heart is also the main motivator of our life. Our heart is the organ that give you life and control your life http://www.peacemotivate.com/2 007/12/31/discipline-your-hear t/ . For example, if you have $2. To a 8-year-old child, $2 is a lot because he can buy his favourite ice-cream. To a 15-year-old child, $2 is not quite enough because he can only buy her stationery and not her favourite branded bag. To the adult, perhaps 25-year-old man, what is $2? What can you buy with just $2? "I cannot even buy a car and a house!" he would think of it this way. To the 40s, married and with children, they would know the importance of $2 because everyday $2 makes a month $60. To the retirees, the value of $2 is a packet of rice or a bun. How 'big' is your heart or how 'small' is your heart will determine your life.

Your brain is another difference between us and the plants and animals around us. Our ability to use words and talk is all because of our brain. God is our creator, the giver of our life, the one who make this world and give life to this world. He had given his book of life, the Bible. He had talked to people, told his people about the way of life, but not many people choose to believe and many people choose to divert away from Him. Today, in this world, you can choose to walk your life in whichever direction you want. You can walk towards light or you can walk towards darkness. http://www.peaceinspiration.co m/2008/01/05/faith/

You are the one who make choices. You have every right to choose. But you are also the one who will bare the responsibilities, the consequences of your actions. Life is full of choices. Can you afford to make mistakes when life is short? When you play a game, you may have a time limit. There are rules for the games so that the game is a fair one. Whoever cheated, you suffer penalty and demerits. Life can be a game too if you play it as a game. Life is all how you want to make it to be. God give you a brain to be as creative as you can be. But you must use your heart. You must not forget who is the giver of life and who to follow for advice and rules of the game, the life giver.

Life is the spirit of living. All lives strive to survive and want to be successful in its life's journey. Our ultimate mission of life is within your heart. What you want to do and what you want your life to be.
