MY DEFINITION TO LIFE
Navigating the ups and downs of life's twist and turns

In my own understanding, life is like a vegetable in the winter season. Without proper management it goes away. Some people will say life has not been easy when you feel it is .
Ever since I was born I have experience a lot both bad and good and I have sat down sometimes and reflected on those experiences, I have had people's experiences people who are older and younger than me and some older people will narrate the good and bad life experience that they have experienced and in their narrations I realize that some of the experiences of the people who are older than me are lesser than mine while some are higher than mine but in all,all experiences whether good or bad counts because they serve as a lesson, pathway to freedom,pathway to success,pathway to education and the medicine to be strong and stand firm.
There is a say that is been said in the Eastern part of Nigeria that says “A traveler grows white hairs, meaning “ a traveler is an intelligent being” but sometimes you really don't need to travel to be intelligent sometimes you learn by what life offers you as a human being if life offers you good you learn good but if life offers you bad you learn bad things and read out good meanings from it ,is this really true or false?
For me the answer is yes because I read out good meanings from the good and bad of life,the life of a human being is deeper than our explanations but we humans because we have brains to think and the ability to seek for answers to some questions had made us define life to the understanding of our thoughts and instincts.
Some philosophers had defined life to their own understanding and the meanings they are able to Read out from life
Like some philosophers and scientists. Biologists define life as the ability of an organism to perform unique actions like growth, metabolism, response to stimuli, adaptation and reproduction
Perhaps if we're looking for a philosophical perspective, Edmund Husserl, a German philosopher, introduced the concept of "life-world" (Lebenswelt) in his work "The Crisis of European Sciences" (1936). Husserl's concept of life-world refers to the world as experienced in everyday life, prior to reflective analysis or scientific investigation
Husserl was born in 1859 in Proßnitz, Moravia (now Prostějov, Czech Republic), and his work had a significant impact on the development of phenomenology and continental philosophy.
But you, do you believe in all this? I further defined life by my understanding that life is when one is breathing, anything that has breath is alive but come to think of it, plants also breathe but that's by the way. Let me continue’ life is when you have all it takes to live but some poor people who don't really have all it takes lives their life but that's ok, life is precious but we have other precious gifts from nature like mineral resources which is Gold,silver, diamond and a lot of them out there I can not mention now.
Life is a teacher it teaches us what we don't know, but why, will it teach us when we learn in school and also have our parents to teach too “ Hmmm don't you think this is fabulous” life is a guarantor that when it signs in good papers you smile because you will become wealthy, successful, happy, Lucky, Free from any bonds and restrictions but can't a human sign for you to get all this but what we don't know is that your life signs before it can work out, life is like a moving train that if you are not at the railway station it will leave you behind but you can always catch up if you Restrategize your self believing and determined that you can make it.
Life can give and take, life comes and goes,life is buying and reselling and life can give but when you are not serious enough to accept or take what it's giving, then it holds it back.
So the life we live serves as a symbol of our reputation. If you are living a good life then definitely you will have good rewards but sometimes bad rewards do come but that is not a statement every human being is expected and required to live a good life.
If you live a bad life then you will have bad rewards although some people usually have good but it depends on who intercede for you but is good to be good because being good counts.
“ But still that doesn't really matter”
When it comes to the aspect of life your legacy weather good or bad has to live on but why is it so because life is deeper than we think people think that they defined life but I think that their are meanings to life that has not been sourced or studied out
Conclusion
In all this, one has to live life to the fullest no matter the challenges, limitations, happenings and plates of food life serves us we have to live, explore, enjoy, win, succeed , give good examples,be a good influencer and do good things that are being required of us because you don't no when the life is gonna leave you or how it came .
So all these things are what I think is life by my own understanding,you what do you think? Let me know in the comment thanks for reading.

We are humans. So we will do mistakes and suffer. But we should self-reflect and mend our mistakes.
I really liked it. Very beautiful thoughts about our precious life.
Life is a Mystery Always. Just Keep Doing Good and Spreading Happiness.
I love the analogy of life being like a vegetable in winter. That really stuck with me.
Beautifully put!
I met a Nigerian friend and I realize that people learn English alongside their native language, I wish they had made us do that as i grew up. Your story speaks truth, life gives back what you give to it.
I agree. 😊
