please correct if there is any mistake... Two hundred years ago,The answer of this question was given by a philosopher,whose name was "seneca".He was the secretary of the king of ROME"NERU".One of the famous saying about Neru is that,when Rome was lightening with fire,he was playing piano. seneca writes a hundred of column on the topic of philosophy."ON THE SHORTNESS OF LIFE"was one of his famous essay. We all think that life is short and we have to get many things,time is less and the competition is tough.starting 20 to 25 years,we spent in college/university.after that 5 years are gone in searching job or establishing our business,sometimes even more than five years.Between all this,we got married and after this all life we spend in taking care and setting the future of our children.this all happened so suddenly,i guess equal to the time that we take to blink our eye.than we realized that we are now in sixties and we have done nothing(three decade of life).we have thought that we will work hard 10 to 15 years and will make good money,after that we will live a peaceful life.but that 15 years never ended and the time of peaceful life never came.rather our time reached to die(leave this earth).so is it true that life is just like this"too short".according to SEneca,the answer is "no",actually reality is that we spend our life in ordinary things and we do not realized.Hours of conversation on cell phone without any reason. gaze television without any purpose.time wastage in seeing unimportant posts.spend time with those people who are meaningless in our life.after doing all this we said that life to short.true is that we make our life short ourself. Other mistake that we did is that we spend our whole life in getting power and value and we think that after getting this success/value/power,my life will be settled. This does not happen.the thing that happens is that after this we get another future task to complete.we spend our whole time in preparing life and we also have a tension that after dying how will people remember us.There should be flush in life and we always have to keep trying for this but remember that every second of life is important.this life is not for burning our heart by seeing different post on social media.after 40 to 50 years we will be not satisfied,when we will see back our life than we will realized that it would have been better if i have spend my life in getting knowledge instesd of doing all that shit.still we have a time,find your Favorite philosopher or book and start .
