Life is the best gift that GOD has given to us as human being. As a human being our life is like a game, and mixture of sweet, soar, pain etc. We should play it according to the rules of humanity.
Imagine, this universe as a football ground, the ball (our jeeva) being tossed between virtues and vices. Maya ( in the form of Kam, Krodh, Moh, Lobh and Ahankar etc) is the goal keeper always try to stand before us luring. We should be careful and move forward with indomitable courage to fall in the Divine Goal Post of GOD by escaping from the lurings of maya. Life in this context is worth living, which can fetch for us all other things, we feel are essential in this meterialistic world.
I beleve in plain thinking and simple living. High thinking means nothing. We are all living and have life. On death we say that life has ended. Hence, this is so simple. Life is the time span from birth to death.
