Note: This reflection is personal and philosophical. It does not offer advice or conclusions, only thoughts that may resonate.
It seems that people return to this question again and again.
Even in the 21st century, the time I live and recognize myself in, we still ask it.
Life has many sides.
At times, misfortunes weigh us down like stones.
It may feel as if there is no way forward.
At other times, the opposite is true.
Small things seem to disappear like dust, settling quietly across the earth.
If we zoom out, that dust becomes something cosmic.
Still, it does not lose its nature.
Motion as Meaning
I am not a physicist or an astronomer.
But I believe that from this very dust, shaped by light and shadow, life begins as something simple – movement.
The periodic table applies not only here, but across space.
The same principles, the same chemistry.
It means life, in its most basic sense, could exist anywhere.
The Cold Outside, and the Fire Within
Because we cannot fully see or measure the scale of the universe, each of us imagines it differently.
Often we think of it as cold, distant, lifeless.
I have no proof to argue for or against the existence of life beyond Earth.
But I believe this:
The emptiness we feel inside might not be cold at all.
It might be a quiet fire.
A deep urge to move, to become, to live.
Life Means Change
Everything that forms begins with a desire to shift.
Nothing stays the same.
Ice melts. Water freezes.
Water is life. Movement is life.
And chemical reactions can happen anywhere.
Even stillness is temporary.
A Pool of Choices
Life is made of drops, of random moments.
Together, they form a pool.
Our thoughts, our responses, our experience all blend together.
And in that pool, something becomes possible.
We can shape how we react.
We can learn from what others do, and how we choose to respond.
We can decide what kind of life we wish to live.
My Personal Stance on Life
I don’t have all the answers.
But I believe that choosing life is something we do again and again.
We choose it when we decide to move forward.
When we notice the small things.
When we care, when we try, when we keep going.
I choose life not because I always understand it,
but because I feel something strong inside — a wish to grow, to change, to be part of something.
Maybe that is what life is.
