Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't.
~Richard Bach
Often when I get up in the morning, there is a conflict in my mind – to enjoy the day or to make something worthwhile out of it. This is actually what I term as a conflict between head and heart. But then this is what we all face often during the day – especially during vacations :D
Jokes apart let’s do some serious thinking about life. We say life is so simple, then why can’t we understand it??? But then why do we need to make special efforts to understand, because the moment we feel we have understood it, it would take a u-turn – God changes the question paper the moment we believe we have found out the answers.
Our life doesn’t owe us anything; instead we owe many things to life. Throughout our life we struggle just to ‘be’. And still we cannot be where we want to be! Life is a beautiful a melody, only that the lyrics are a bit messed up. But if we have a perfectly made song, who would aspire for something higher than that! And life would be just like a stagnant pool of water, wanting to move but with nowhere to go. It is the courage to move ahead that keeps us going and that is what differentiates a person from others.
F. Scott Fitzgerald very beautifully remarked, “Life was a damned muddle - a football game with everyone offside and the referee gotten rid of - everyone claiming the referee would have been on his side.” But then life cannot be lived on assumptions…in life there not only ifs, every ‘if’ is accompanied by a ‘but’. Now if I go on writing this post you all will be bored probably, but then I cannot go on and on like that…see here too, if and but :)

one of the best lines i've ever read..:) thanks fr the pleasure..
Here is a quote that is after my heart.
"Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be. Each of us has the power to give life meaning, to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope."
Notwithstanding the imponderables,we have in our hands the power to shape our life the way we wish it to be.
A thought provoking post admirably written as only Amrit can do.
Ah the meaning of life Live is indeed a beautiful melody Nicely sad
I think to love is at the center of the meaning of life
There are countless people who have tried to put together the meanning of this jigsaw called Life , still havent gone too far - which does not undermine the people's capability but highlight the power of God...or is it the randomness of Universe as per Einstein..to each his own !!
This is a very nice viewpoint. I liked this take on life. :-) And the quote, it is priceless.
Great and nice post thank you.
