- What is Life?? Seems like a topic for the philosophy section..
- Lets see....Life's a dance...Life's an adventure...Life's
- dangerious...Life's tricky...Life's weird...etc....
- Life itself is not defined by any terms...but by the philosophy
- ..not by the religion..the person lives by (it can be argued that
- philosophy is different from religion)
- For example...some people believe that life exisit only once
- for each person...and that people should make the most out of
- life..as in do everything and anything. And there are others
- which believe in the cycles of life and deaths...which would
- mean that your present life (in terms of what you have become
- ..rich/poor/smart/dumb/etc) has been determined by your
- pervious life
- ....Humm...I can go on and on about this...but as I havd
- said before...this topic is not for this group.
-
- All in all......Live Dangeriously!!!! I always say...ha!!
-
- ...er....does that answer the original question??
