What is really means to be alive?

                       Today, I am not going talk in sense that what does it mean by being alive or not in biological way but the time I would be considering and our feeling and thoughts work in which way. So, if we consider simple life as amoeba it also has certain combination of chemicals called DNA simply put it as formula of how that creature would behave or have characteristics. Life starts with simple single cell and goes to complex as humans. For definitions we consider life as combination of cells and organs. But what really brings life is consciousness. Where it come from , what is difference between same person who was alive few moments back and now is dead. Some cultures say about soul which does makes sense when we don't question the concept of where does it come from and how it come? But indeed the fact that it has not proven scientifically , effort has been made to measure the difference in weight of person just before and after the death. It has observed that the difference was about 14 grams. Which makes certain group of people to say that weight of soul is 14 grams. But question is about consciousness , where it comes from and what it is exactly at fundamental level.

                            Science has not been able to answer to this question but lots of theories have made to try to answer this complicated question. Some of which are partially accepted and other are rejected. Consciousness means having ability to understand yourself as certain entity and able to make your decisions on your own at biological level in direct or indirect way without controlling by external factors.

It has assumed that it is collection of billions of neurons , but simple viruses or bacteria also have life , which also posses consciousness which contradicts definition of collection of neurons cause they itself are made of single cell. Until now we don't have concrete answer of what it is exactly and how it originates. And does robots which behaves like us said to be life form? There are so many questions like this and will come more , we'll discuss them at some other time. Time being let's talk about only humans. We are proudly called as most intelligent life of planet. By use of our brains we have developed technologies in  such way we can go to other planets and at sub-atomic level. But isn't life just energy which passes from one generation to other and does it even vanish? If we consider particular child, it borns and start to learn languages and to survive from it's parents in various ways. After we get feelings, we get so much attached to it that we forget that we are also going to die someday. But we involved in emotions and complexity of life in such way that we forget to live. We forget that what we love , doing that will give us happiness and satisfaction which can be considered as goal of life.

Metacognition , A Super Power?

Mind · Psychology · Truth You've Been Thinking Your Whole Life and Still Don't Know How You Think The invisible skill that separates people who grow from people who just get older. 8 min read  ·  Philosophy  ·  Psychology The gap between what you think you know — and what you actually know ``` "Most people are not thinking. They are replaying. And the terrifying part — it feels exactly the same." Right now, as you read this sentence, your brain is making thousands of decisions — what to focus on, what to dismiss, what to believe — and you were not consulted on a single one of them. You experience the output. You assume that output is you. It isn't. There is a word for the rare ability to catch your own brain in the act — to step outside your thoughts and watch them the way you'd watch a stranger on the street. It's called metacognition. And the peop...

Do it later

                                If I have to tell one thing which is most important in life. This would be procrastination or rather in simple words it would habit of postponing things . What happens with simple things we post pone them very easily cause we don't understand real importance of them. We think of that it is such simple and easy task that I can do it any time but what we don't understand is that simple task does not mean we can easily do it. This is one of the contradiction or paradox. This is because the way our brain works and how it has been evolve in many years. We think of simple things as these can be done in any time in hand , so we really under estimate it. And what happens with difficult tasks is we over estimate and make it so big that we fear to even start it.                 This policy of doing later is really dangerous. What we can do fo...
