Life is the greatest mystery on this earth. Why we are here or how we are here nobody knows. So, we are forced to go through life by giving our own purposes and values. Naturally, for such a complex entity the opinions would be far numerous and varied. For some, life can be a ‘tale told by an idiot’ while for others it can take the form of ‘flowers in spring’. We tend to view life through a glass. Where what we think it is depends on what we get from it. Every day is a constant fight with life, when we fail to understand that all life wants is to hold its hand and enjoy it. You spend your life looking for meaning when it is what we make it to be. The value you give to life is what makes it meaningful and worth living. Different people have different opinions about life and no one is or can be wrong. But to have a better understanding on life you need to take the opinions of the wise. Some may be cynical while some may be humorous but in the end you are the better judge. In the article given below are some short quotes about life that may give you a definite understanding of what it is and what it means.
