Mohandas Gandhi said, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever”. God gave us the gift of life to experience and appreciate the beauty and wonder of His creations. He gave us senses so that we could enjoy and be amazed at it. But life is short so we have to live life to the fullest. Live life like every minute is your last cause you might regret it if you die without even realizing how beautiful life is. But in every beginning is an ending. Death doesn’t mean it’s the end but another beginning.Life is about seeking wisdom and knowledge, finding your purpose and enjoying living trying to realize one's potential and ideals. Life brings hope to man. Life helps man to explore unknown territories. It helps us to discover new things that make our lives more comfortable and enjoyable. Life brings us love. It inspires us and motivates us to do our best in everything we do.Death is but an extension of life itself. Death is the state of a thermodynamic ecosystem in which it cannot get and organize autonomously the energy from the environment. Death always occurs as a deterministic event because all living beings will die. We cannot think that there is something eternal in the Universe. Eternal life is impossible because the trajectory of the entropy is settled on time.

Life and death can never be separated from each other. Life is the beginning and death is not the end of life but the extension of life. We are given life to enjoy God’s creations. Life is short so we have to maximize everything around us. We should not reject death because it is the extension of life. We should just be thankful for what we have and we should live life to the fullest
