Meaning of life

What is it the real essence of living? 

   Why do we live or so to say. Do we really know that we are living? That sounds funny, but what then is the outcome of our lives. Are we destined to die. What happens when we cease to exist. How did we came to existence in any case.
  These are questions that requires critical rational thinking to come in terms with. Try this small experiment at your peaceful time. Ask via text message to all your contacts what life is. I bet all the responses you will get, will be totally different.

Several answers have been proposed basing on different aspects of life, ranging from Theological, Scientific and even Philosophical approaches down the ages.
Theologies reviews concepts like body having a soul and the presence of supernatural beings controlling forces of the earth. Life is viewed as a substance that human being is given by this supernaturals and can be taken away.
Here, life is doing good and pleasing the gods. This is however counteracted by scientists who claims that life is just a phenomenal occurrence. Life in any case as from a scientific point of view, is a combination of forces of the nature.
Philosophical approach dictates that we should engage our minds for us to understand what life really is and that which is expected from us.

Life is the state of an organism preceeding their death according to biology of living things.
When someone is undergoing challenges, sentiments like 'life is not fair,' 'life is hard, ' could be heard from them. This will not go to another person who will relax and say life is easy.

Coming to understand the meaning of life, i think we should view our daily activities and assess them later on. This may help mirror what the broad life is all about.
For example, a graduate may give an account of his/her life in campus. That goes to other categories like a divorced couple and even a person who has recovered from drug addiction et cetera.
These however portrays life as a period of time. Does this mean life is jus but a time?
Come think of this, life has the aspects of performing certain activities that enfluences the environment at specific time.
I observe life being a self realization of our own abilities that we influences the sorounding environment. Life is all about how one reacts on the changes that comes on them. This is the responce towards both humanity and the material things.
I tend to believe that we are meant to change the world in our own way. Just as the very many different answers you get after asking the meaning of life to all your contacts, so does what we conceive in our minds do differ.
All we have to do is put into practice what we formulate in our mind. That's what life really is. Thanks.
