Life... What is it?

I don’t know how to define life, is it just the consumption of food, produce energy and reproduction?
I think nobody can define life, everybody has his own arguments and points of view.

Life... Is it fair?

Simple answer, no.
Let me compare life with a racing or other sportive competitions, there’s always a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd place. Is this fair? Why doesn’t exist only 1st places?
The winner of the 1st place feels himself as the luckiest person on the planet and who did the 4th place often cries, because he don’t get a cup or another reward for it. But is it a reason for him to give up? No, he surely tries to get better and win another time.
This is what life makes go ‘round, the struggle of everyone to improve oneself and reach the goals in a short or in a long period of time.

Life... Unanswered Questions

What is it what differs human beings from other living form, such as animals or plants?
It is the fact that humans tend to ask themselves questions nobody is and will never be able to answer. Questions like, “Where do I belong?”, “What’s the reason I’m living?” and “Where will we go, when we die?”. Nobody can answer these questions, neither religion nor science, there’s no objective answer to those things.

Life… Is it worth living?

For heavens sake, yes. Nobody should think that it isn’t worth living. People suffer and have up’s and down’s sometimes. But this is nature. In the nature everything has up’s and down’s, look to the tides of ocean, the different moon phases, sunset and sunrises and even the seasons with cold winters and hot summers. And of course everything has up’s and down’s, look at the stock market or the economic cycle. Nowadays the economy has a down, but it will get better as sure as after night comes day or after winter there’s summer.
If you suffer, you’ll get better and if you see someone suffering help him/her to get better.
The most genius people have things they suffer from, look at Stephen Hawking, he’s my inspiration for life.

Life… Things of which I think going terribly wrong and how you could make them better

I think you’re also sad looking at hungry and suffering people on other parts of the world like Africa, I don’t know why most people aren’t doing anything against it. If everyone in Germany would spend one Euro to Africa for instance, that would be 80.000.000 Euro, but the most one think it’s none of their business. Why? I don’t have a glue.
Is it right to send groceries to those countries? Maybe, but it would be better to build a running infrastructure in those countries. There is a Chinese adage I have in mind, it says “give someone a fish and he’s fed for one day, but if you give him a fishing rod and teach him how to use, he’s fed for the rest of his life”
And another big scourge of mankind are wars, wars found mostly on monetary and ethnical reasons, which are the same reasons why there’s a crack between poor and rich.
I don’t know humans are so stubborn and stupid to do such things. I watch Star Trek, I know it’s science fiction, but the erstwhile science fiction is reality nowadays, there the society has no money anymore and live in peace and parity. I look forward to such a good future, even if it takes centuries until mankind understand it and live such way.

It isn’t the assignment of few people but of the whole mankind to do something for the community. I hope the human intellect evolves so much that they realize it.
Everybody can go out of his door a make the world more liveable, not only for himself even for the rest of the world.
And if that isn’t a good reason for living, I don’t know.
