Here and Now

What is life? Yes, that's right. Many have tried to define it, or better to put it into words. All of them just tried their best, but couldn't find a comprehensive description for it. How could they? Isn't life more than words? Moreover, what is experienced in the deepest recesses of our being is usually indescribable. When it matter most, we are at loss with words. We'd rather show it. We cry, or beam with light, or jump up and down in ecstasy.
Am I going to try to put what life is in words? Nope. I am too small for that. I just want to talk about what I learnt living life in my own simple, and often stupid way. In life 'pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.' In life many heartbreaking things can happen. But life offers the remedy as well. Life is lived in the here and now.
