Life is...

Its been a while since I last posted on this blog, has it not?

So, coming up is an assortment, a hodgepodge, a mishmash and a menagerie of the different definitions of life that I keep coming up with. You may agree or disagree with me , but it is impossible to disagree with logic.

" Life is nothing but a game of probability"

Every event has a certain probability of occuring, and this applies to the events in our life as well. Through our actions, we can alter these probabilities in our favor. we can increase the probability of an favourable event and reduce the probability of some unfavourable event. The altered probability will still never be 1 or 0, it has to be something in between only. So we are playing with the probability.

Say someone is doing engineering, then it is at least 90% probable that he will have a career in the IT industry. The probability increases if he goes with the flow, and can decrease if some unforeseen events occur or the person himself makes some conscious and planned efforts to deviate from the obvious. The change that occurs as a result may be for the better or the worse.
In case of planned efforts being present, the changes so brought forth are bound to be for the better. Then again, how many of us think beyond the obvious?

"Life is a journey in quest of the answers"

The first definition was rather unconventional, this line is more out of the book. The line may be heard of, but how many of us take life in this perspective, much less follow the path earmarked herewith? Doesnt anyone have sufficient curiosity or questioning attitude?

Do you have a defined goal or vision for your future to fuel the fire of curiosity and the thirst of knowledge which acts as a beacon of light while you are on the journey?

  1. Hello Sir. Happened to chance upon your blog.

    Indeed, there are several varied definitions of life, all of them as valid as the next. Such being the case, I believe "Life" is what a person chooses to make out of it, through his own perception and actions.

  2. I would associate that with our own characteristics and abilities and not with life since there is always an uncertainty or external factor involved. You cannot control everything , but yes, ultimately life is contingent upon the actions we take and the decisions we make.
