Vita

Vita, unless you went ahead and googled the word vita, you probably don’t know what this word means, and that’s fine because it’s not English. Vita is a Latin word—and I definitely didn’t put that as the title because the normal word was banal, and I wanted to be cool and elusive—that means life. That is also the topic of today’s post. We’re going to discuss the definition of life, the beauty of life, and dive into the question, what is the point of life?

Vita, life. Quite the subject to be tackling. We’re steppin’ in big philosophy territory today. The first order of business being… what is life? After a lot of thought, the only word that can be used to describe life is life. Life is an undefinable concept, you cannot put a definition on life, it’s not plausible (except for a beating heart, and cells, we’re talking philosophy, not biology.) Life is simply life. What life is though, describing it—not defining it—is beautiful.

Life is an extremely beautiful thing, in both the physical realm, and the spiritual realms. Physically, life has some awe-inspiring wonders: Niagara falls, the pyramids, and a lot more. The green of the tree’s, the colors of the sky, the blue of the ocean; there is a wealth of beauty for your mind to feast upon within the earth, universe, and life, that you live within. Even the fact that you are a human, (or at least I think you are) you are extremely lucky. The chances that you are a human is about 1 to 400 trillion, the chances that you are a human who can read and assimilate this post makes you even luckier, basically, be grateful for the simple fact that you have the mind to be grateful. Spiritually, the amount of things that your mind can do, the ways that you can separate your soul and body. The mind, and the soul, they are extraordinarily powerful forces within the universe, allowing you to control and feel things that science cannot yet explain (fun fact, your mind can actually affect your genes). I also know you have both of these things; I know this because, once again, you are reading, and hopefully assimilating these words, and the point that I am attempting in conveying in this post. Understand the beauty of your body and mind; this is not philosophy it is science.

Now we get into a… fragile, question. What’s the point of life? I’m going to answer this with as much candor as I can. Innately, there is no point in life. From the moment you are born you have no point in being alive. There is none. The key word there is innately though. The things that we as humans come to do is give our life a point, find a reason for our being. Whether that be to go to heaven at the end of our lives, or to save entire countries from poverty, people find a point to living. Most people that is, some people don’t find a purpose, they find no reason, and they continue to think, and believe, that life is pointless. Now I am telling you, find a point in life, it starts pointless, but you are here now, make a reason, find your purpose, I promise you, a frivolous life is an abhorrent life. Find a point in life, a reason, you have one, and if you don’t think you have one, then make one.

I hope that I articulated myself, and got myself through in an inspirational way, making the claim that life is innately pointless is quite the claim, so I hope I uplifted you instead of saddened you. Besides that, the other things we discussed today were how life can only be defined with life, and how the life that you live is beautiful, especially considering you’re human. Thank you for reading this post, and getting this far, have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious week, and I’ll see you the next, peace.
