What is life?
They say it's from B to D.
From Birth to Death,
But what's between B and D?
It's a "C" so what is a "C"?
It is a choice.
Our life is a matter of choices.
To the above, I would like to add one element that gives life meaning.
That element is E, where E means Effect.
Granted that life is about the choices made between B and D but it is how they (choices) impact particularly on others and the universe as a whole that gives life it's definition.
Take for instance, Socrates, Aristotle, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday and the list continues experienced B to D but what keeps their existence alive today is in the effects of their choices.
Your life might not be about where you are headed after all but what you left behind.
