What is life

Life #1

Life. What is life? I ask myself this a lot. Is it a name? Is it a thing? Is it a threat? Does its definition mean beginning and end? Is it something beyond this planet? So many questions and I have no answer.

Does life just mean to live and die? What does it mean to live? What does it mean to die? What actually is it? What is a lot of things? Is everything a name? Or even a word? Words. People always say to me "that's not a word" well it is because I just used it. In theory every thing is a word, just because it's not in a dictionary doesn't mean it's not a word. It's just noise isn't it? But then and again what is noise?.... And now your thinking "jeez this is confusing" and you want to stop reading because I've confused you.....but don't.

I just want you to think. If you say something, what do you call that thing your saying? A quote? A question? An answer? A figure of speech? An insult? An apology? And when saying this quote, question, answer, figure of speech, insult or apology, what does the other person see it as? We see things in different ways, different points of view and in different lights. If I was to say " what are you doing?" In what way would you read that? Would you read it in a rude way? Or in a way that I was concerned? I could be saying it as if I was laughing, but you don't know that. Its funny isn't it.

I just want you to think about this the way others interpret your words or your actions, whether it's a joke or not. What is a joke and how far can you go for it to no longer be one. Just be careful what you say because to someone else it might mean more. So next time you are sat in silence and have the space to think, think about life and see if you can answer some of these questions for yourself.
