why should I live

Because you are a part of a rare species that created wonders and not a part of a blue green algae(cyanobacteria)...of course life is difficult in every aspect being a human and it would have been a lot more easier being in a cyanobacterium colony where you can make food out of light and there is no need to earn a living...But you would have missed all the fun,miseries,grief,pain,love,pride that you experience as a human. You know that you are a part of an unimaginably big universe or probably you ignored that and started living in your own small world. But we can try to make you understand your place in the cosmos and you will start to appreciate the wonder of life whereas the little bacterium simply exists. But many people in this world lead the life of a cyanobacterium by simply looking in search of food or in human terms getting contended by money, food and other materialistic things and are leading or passionately in pursuit of a happy "existing" and simply forgot living..they don't know existing and living are two separate worlds and we are here to live and not to exist. Most of our problems comes from taking for granted that you are a human. You could have easily been any other life form and that's why I compared the life of a bacterium. With due respect to that little creature which existed for billions of years and gave rise to all forms of life today after its first appearance in this world some 3500000000 years before. And you standing in the last microsecond of this gruelling, wonderful, rare, epsiode called life which is telecasted only once, quietly contemplating in the corner of your house that your life is boring, worthless..in that case atleast you should have been the bacterium whose persistent "existence" against all the odds had lead to this biodiversity and ironically you can't take pride for its achievement too..let me tell you one last thing to prove that you are remarkable that all the elements Fe(Iron), oxygen, carbon, potassium etc., that runs in your blood,cells in short you and your fellow men and every other living beings and of course the non living things like the planets, etc are made in the stars through the carbon nitrogen oxygen cycle and once the stars die and burst they form new star systems like our solar system and with all these ingredients life is blessed in this earth..aren't you part of this one big universe even in the atoms and molecular level.. you are left with only one option..to believe that you are a truly wonderful being and to celebrate a human life...

oh man..it is real hard to believe all the things I have written and to really appreciate this life and not to get into believing that life is monotonous as i am revisiting this post after 16 months and am writing/editing this last  paragraph of this post..i am in disbelief that i had written these things because I did not change my life and was caught inside a 9-5 job all these days and was made to run after money without any appreciation for life..let me come back to this post again in the future and will update anything changes in my approach to life..
