In my opinion it depends on the definition of the kind of life each of us has, then there are other beings and creatures in this world. Life for human beings, life for animals, life for trees, and life for all living things. To us it appears that trees have little or no influence on their lives. But they actually have a communication system between them. When one tree becomes less vigorous there is a network with other trees who sends a chemical through their roots to the tree having trouble.
Animal’s lives depend on “the nature of the beast.” The larger, faster animals eat the smaller and so forth, except maybe for those animals who can camouflage with their surroundings. They have a better chance, as well as those who fly. But many animals face hunger when the sun becomes so hot that the plants that they eat may not survive.
Humans can fit into the above category of “eat or be eaten.” But man has a better chance at survival as a whole. Man can look at his situation, see the pros and cons of staying in a certain environment or not. Then he has the chance to look and decide if there’s a chance to make what he has better, even a little bit at a time. Man has the ability to learn, to create, accept or wait for change and to decide to accept his situation. Most animals can do one or two of these to a lesser degree.
So life is really what each of us does, thinks, how we act, how we treat other people, animals, nature, life, death, illness, loss, pleasure, beauty, joy, sadness, labor, education. We make our lives mostly on our own. If our lives begin we with great parents, have a good education and put forth what we worked on we may improve ourselves or our lives, careers or our health.
Value your growth from childhood to adulthood and learn everything that you can learn. Be curious about what you don’t know, until you start to learn about what life is all about. Then you can learn about yourself.
Open your mind to who you are; who you want to learn from; what you want to learn; and how you want to learn it. Then we need to be open to being taught by those who can teach us whatever is important to us and our futures. Be careful to choose teachers who are wise, experienced, patient, thorough and excellent at teaching. Be earnest about your successes in school, in life, in your career and as a spouse, parent, relative. Choose what kind of kife you want to live and find the happiness that you seek from your explorations that help make your life a good, healthy, happy, fulfilling life that makes you happy and wise.
