Indeed, I have found the answer to your question; but sharing it would be of no use. Each person needs to find their answer themselves.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Life is an expression of Spirit in the material world.

"What is life NOT?"

By default, it leaves me open to everything I can't define yet. Less limitations.

Oo, I like that, Fufa.

I voted "Don't need an answer, I don't care" because it was the closest to my current thoughts on life, but it was slightly misleading.

I don't need an answer, but I do care.

I am open to an answer.

I am interested in others' answers, regardless of whether the answers are meaningful to me personally.

These are similar to my feelings on 1) tattoos & 2) God. :)

Life is a R O L L E R C O A S T E R ride of pain and pleasure, agony and ecstacy, sadness and joy, rested and tired, gaining and losing, birth and death.

All I can do about it is encourage the willing, challenge the reluctant and show every person I know how much they have enriched my life.

Wat is Life?!? Wow good question. Life is what you make it. Life is dreams, disappointments, joy. Life doesn't lead you, you lead life. Live it the way that makes you happy!
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

A great George Harrison song!

By the way, I can't seem to get the eplaya "YouTube" preview function, where you see the still image of the unplayed video in your post, to work anymore. Anyone have an idea what's going on?
...but it seemed like such a good idea at the time...

Is Life the Harmonic Note, that holds our beings together, in this dimensional Time Space reflection, or is it Love?...

The question should be "is there dinner involved?"

the answer is "I'm not cheap, just easy"
