what is life?

Answer 1

Wikipedia knows everything!

Answer 2

Many western scientists tried to locate the seat of
Life in the body. Some proposed the heart to be the
seat of Life. Just because the heart stopped beating,
you can not say that the person is dead. There are many
cases in medical history that people revived to life
after some hours of stopping of the heart. Some medical
experts theorised that a body will not revive after
it's brain ceases to emit the electrical signals. Even
this theory could not stand the test of truth. Modern
medicine knows that the first organ to decompose in a
dead body is the private organ. There is not single
case in the medical history that a person revived after
the private organ started decomposing. Chandogya
Upanisad says (VI.5.4):

" Water when drunk becomes three fold; it's coarsest
portion becomes the urine; it's middle portion the
blood, and it's subtlest portion Praana."

The definition of Prana is 'that which continues or
sustains life'. It is the same organ which 'creates'
life.

The Almighty has chosen you, and every other person for
a particular purpose. The aim of life is to understand
the greatness of the creator. And to search for the
purpose for which a soul is given human life. This
purpose differs from person to person because it is
dependent on the past Karma of the soul. (It is as
different as our finger prints, no two are alike). But
one thing is sure. Human beings are the highest of all
creation. The rest of the creation is intended for the
use of human beings. All people are expected to enjoy
the creation. Since creation itself is divine, all
people are expected to keep their lives as happily as
possible without interference with others.

That is life.

Answer 3

These stupid things we call words don't express life. Words have no emotion. The word life has no emotion. The thing called life has emotion though. It has happiness, energy, and kindness but mostly has pain, sadness, and loss. But those are all just words. You cannot expect me to write what life is in words because it cannot be done, words are just words, just letters squished together.

You may just want an answer, but I want more. I want to know why I'm alive, maybe the same for you. But if not, I still I feel as if I haven't wasted my time.

The word life is just letters but the thing life cannot be decribed.

Answer 5

This is more easily understandable if one considers the actual scale of the components of an atom. If one takes into account the fact that the neutrons, protons and electrons of an atom actually have huge spaces between them it becomes clear that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are made up of 99+ percent empty space.

This alone does not seem too important till you add the idea that the atoms that make up seemingly solid objects are more of a loose conglomeration that share a similar attraction but never really touch each other.

At first glance this does not really seem relevant, but closer analysis reveals that this adds a tremendous amount of empty space to solid objects that are already made up of atoms that are 99 percent space. When so-called solid objects are seen in this light it becomes apparent that they can in no way be the seemingly solid objects they appear to be.

We ourselves are not exceptions to this phenomenon.

These seemingly solid objects are more like ghostly images that we interpret as solid objects based on our perceptual conclusions.

From this we must conclude that Perception is some sort of a trick that helps us to take these ghostly images and turn them into a world we can associate and interact with. This clever device seems to be a creation of our intellect that enables us to interact with each other in what appears to be a three dimensional reality.

I hope that helps to answered your question.

Answer 11

life in general is to complex for me to even begin renting about (it is almost 3 AM here).

but I think "your life" is a series of events you go through.

(whilst still living in this plain of awareness, breathing, and "living"- opposed to whatever happenes when you "die")
