what is life ?

a friend asked me to think about "what is life ?". wow its only a 3 word question but to reply to this is impossible unless and until you know who you are. it would have been very easy to answer this question, to myself first, if i understood the mystery behind the purpose for which i was made to put on this fancy dress(see the previous post). i wish i was wise enough to decipher the purpose. once i know what my life is all about i would try to enter the maze and find my way out and claim victory. most of us, we are born, we go through some problem, there are emotions shed, and later, close our eyes with a feeling that, our purpose is not fulfilled. feeling incomplete. have you ever felt that ? esp, when you go visit people in their death bed. their eye seem to tell us "i still have nt finished my work " this is because he did nt figure out the purpose of his life or he did not do things as expected.
its like the bible saying, each of us are given some talents. the man with 10 made 20 ,with 5 made 10 and the man with 1 buried it. something like that. many of us fall under the last category.
we all grow up, marry, have kids, job etc but we still have nt influenced others in the right path.
for example we are given a talent to sing, have we used it help others enjoy the voice and have we used it to make them happy or something like this.
LIFE IS A TREASURE FILLED WITH WONDERFUL GIFTS. its for us to open the chest and share it and multiply it, unfortunately many of us dig aroung the chest, some open and then close it, scared if someone would take it away. its a pity what we are doing, WELL BECAUSE OF THIS, KUDDOS! LIFE GOES ON..we are again made to purchase the cloth from the body shop and come back to fulfill the purpose,again in the journey we forget to fulfill the same and cycle goes on. hahahahaha...!
