What is life? TL;DR
Dostoevsky: It's hell. To Dostoevsky, life was a battle with the darkest parts of the human soul—a crucible of suffering where we confront our deepest fears and desires.
Socrates: It's a test. Life is the ultimate examination of virtue, wisdom, and truth. For Socrates, an unexamined life is not worth living.
Aristotle: It's the mind. Life is the pursuit of knowledge and reason—a journey to understand the world through logic, ethics, and metaphysics.
Nietzsche: It's power. Life is the will to power—a striving for self-overcoming and mastery of circumstances, rejecting complacency and embracing growth.
Freud: It's death. Freud saw life as a tension between the life instinct (Eros) and the death instinct (Thanatos)—a constant drive toward creation and destruction.
Marx: It's the idea. For Marx, life is shaped by material conditions and the ideologies that arise from them—a struggle to create a world of equality and justice.
Picasso: It's art. Life is creation—a canvas for painting our passions, emotions, and dreams, shaped by imagination and expression.
Gandhi: It's love. Gandhi believed life is rooted in nonviolence, compassion, and universal love—a journey toward peace and selfless service.
Schopenhauer: It's suffering. For Schopenhauer, life is ceaseless striving that inevitably leads to pain and dissatisfaction, tempered only by moments of beauty and art.
Bertrand Russell: It's competition. Life is shaped by human desires and ambitions—a balancing act between self-interest and collective progress.
Steve Jobs: It's faith. Life is trusting the process—taking risks and following intuition, even when the road ahead is unclear.
Einstein: It's knowledge. Einstein saw life as a quest to understand the universe's mysteries, driven by curiosity and awe.
Stephen Hawking: It's hope. Life is perseverance in the face of adversity—a belief in the future and the power of human ingenuity.
Kafka: It's just the beginning. Life is surreal and enigmatic, often absurd, yet always opening doors to transformation and possibility.
Camus: It's rebellion. Life is finding meaning in a meaningless universe, defying absurdity with courage and passion.
Thoreau: It's simplicity. Life is stripping away the unnecessary—embracing nature and living deliberately.
Rumi: It's a dance. Life is a spiritual journey—a rhythm of love and divine connection woven into every moment.
Kierkegaard: It's a leap of faith. Life requires embracing uncertainty and taking bold steps grounded in belief and authenticity.
Epicurus: It's pleasure. Life is about maximizing simple, lasting pleasures while minimizing unnecessary pain.
Laozi: It's harmony. Life flows like water—effortless and aligned with the natural order of the universe.
Confucius: It's virtue. Life is fulfilling roles with integrity, respect, and commitment to community and family.
Carl Jung: It's individuation. Life is integrating the conscious and unconscious—becoming whole and authentic.
Alan Watts: It's a game. Life is to be experienced and played with wonder—not taken too seriously.
Victor Frankl: It's meaning. Life is finding purpose, even in the most difficult circumstances, through love and service.
Simone de Beauvoir: It's freedom. Life is the power to define yourself and reject roles imposed by society.
Heraclitus: It's change. Life is constant flux—a river we step into once before it flows anew.
Hegel: It's progress. Life is a dialectical process, advancing through contradiction and resolution toward greater understanding.
Hobbes: It's survival. Life in its natural state is "nasty, brutish, and short," requiring systems to maintain order.
Rousseau: It's freedom in nature. Life is most authentic when we return to our natural state, free from societal corruption.
Marcus Aurelius: It's acceptance. Life is embracing the present moment with stoic resolve, guided by reason and virtue.
Seneca: It's preparation for death. Life is not about its length but its quality—teaching us to live well and let go gracefully.

I have just spent a very pleasurable few hours walking round The Sacred Monkey Garden, in Ubud, Bali. At one point, I very narrowly escaped losing my baseball cap when one of the little fellas tried to swipe it😳😂. https://video.nostr.build/5b8b3df3755788965627999139ddda15e1a4d542aa7ad82f354ae23e677d42ba.mp4 I'm no photographer, far from it, I'm rubbish. I think this is one of the best pics I've ever taken though, very light editing just to blare the background. nprofile1qqsvrejstspd4rgmpfdn6mdkuxdjav3de420p6rrqmkg5gfeq2e32lspz4mhxue69uhks6tnwshxummnw3ezumrpdejqzxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wfcxcetzwvhxxmmdqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hs4mdehw appraisal please🙏🏻.
