“what is life?why do we exist ? What am I doing ? What happens when I die ?”these are the more introspected questions while I lay in bed bitten by the bug of insomnia .I sit in solitude hours at end to find an answer yet we never seem to arrive at it . Like anyother modern day homosapien I dip into the holy grail of answers ….yep Google but nothing seems to suffice . At 2 am I retire to bed like a wounded soldier with a distant dream of one day finding an answer . Night after night it’s the same vicious cycle .finally the epiphany I so desperately was seeking for ended my agony.
My funny little brain overdosed with sitcoms and documentaries was now sober .I was driven to seek answers while I should have asked the right question .” What is life?” in itself is very vague no wonder the answer will me any more precise .filled with new found love I venture on to ask a more accurate questions. And the next thing that popped into my mind gave life a whole new dimension .
Yes ofcourse the answer was staring at my face the whole time . ……..it was pizza , nope I’m just kidding but I got to say pizza Is what makes life worth living . jokes aside the question that did Change my perspective was “how do I live life ? How can I make it memorable ?”
A scientific study shows before you DIE YOU HAVE 7 MINUTES OF BRAIN ACTIVITY LEFT, WHICH IS YOUR BRAIN PLAYING BACK MEMORIES IN A DREAM SEQUENCE .
My sole purpose now was to fill those 7 minutes with the best memories I could .I wanted my dreams to become reality , wishes to goals and desire to aspirations . doing things I love , talking to people you care about, taking up challenges , having goals ,these are things that make life interesting.
Replace the “I” with “you “in the article and that comprises the whole of humanity that resonate with the predicament of asking “what is life ?”
The next time you become a Friedrich Nietzsche and riddle your brain just make sure it’s the right question .
