Your opinion:
I think from speaking my religion is that this life is a test,to see if we will pass it,which means like if we pass that means we are a good person and if we don't pass it then we are a bad person.So if we pass,there is heaven and if we don't then might mean hell.Now this is what I think and I'm speaking about my religion,you people obviously have different opinions,so please don't "bash" mines,etc.
My Opinion:
This life is an opportunity to exercise one's free will. Will you worship Him who created you? Where will you spend eternity? Will you accept the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross or will you reject Him. Will you spend eternity in Heaven or Hell? Lastly, who will you take with you???

YOU FORGOT TO CHOOSE!"
Choose what?
"What you got! Choose what you got in this moment, then choose what you got in this moment" he explained, and eventually you'd be out of the water. Or not even eventually, which would imply that time is acquired for transformation: the est training was in the spirit of "sudden Zen," for the possibility of "choosing what you got" exists now and always. And in the very moment you really make that choice, you come unstuck, for you had merely been resisting the "is-ness" of the moment you were given.
This was directly opposite to the prevailing self-help party line of those me-decade times: rather than coaching people to "get what you want, for you can have it all." est turned it around, poiting out that if you instead "want what you get." then you'll realize that you do have it all. and can stop searching for it and start the real work of giving it away, contributing your vision to the world. "If you're not sharing it." Erhard would declare, "then you never got it." (One unfortunate side effect of this maxim was to turn graduates of the training into what became known as "estholes," obnoxiously hell- bent on getting everyone and their grandmothers into the program.)
"At all times, and in all places, and in any situation," Erhard used to repeat again and again, "you have the power to transform the quality of your life: stop waiting for it to 'turn out,' because this is how it tumed out." This is it, and it is all as it is, and as it isn't, and as only it can be. Therefore it is perfect. And so yes, I did "get it" at the est training twenty years ago, and what I got is that it always already is (and isn't); so therefore I still have it today (and don't), and it includes at times having the abso- lute certainty that I in fact never truly got it (or lost it) and nor do I still have it (al- though I absolutely do). Get it?

I believe that there is no one answer for this question. Life is far too complex to just have a short and simple statement that "life is ____". I don't think anyone truly knows the answer to this question.

In the words of Solomon in Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear GOD and keep HIS commandments. For this is the all of man.
