How do you see life?

[Korg]

I often hear people say "I see life as ____"

• A war
• A game
• A school
• A test
• An absurdity
• A challenge

...I'm not sure how to describe my perspective. A feedback loop, maybe. To me, the whole thing is tabula rasa until you write on it with your labor and creativity and then you get back what you gave. You make your own life, you make your own path.

What about you?

A box of chocolates.

You never know what ya gonna get.

 

[InvisibleJim]

I see life by opening my eyes!

 

[Jill Hives]

It just is.

 

[Feelings]

A potpourri of feelings.

 

[bickelz]

I think I need to make life more of a challenge because I'm not doing anything else at the moment.

 

[endersgone]

An opportunity.

a toilet

 

[Free Mind]

A vast expanse waiting to be explored through its ups and downs. Endlessly seeking. Never ending.

A feedback loop.. Interesting.
I can see that because I tend to see life holistically.
All things interconnected..

At the same time, I see it as an absurd challenge.
I think humanity tends to create systems of thought and doing that imprison itself.
As a result, I'm mostly restless and unsatisfied and feel like an animal in captivity.

I do also fancy myself an existentialist..
I'm still figuring all of this out.

An opportunity.

...to love, encourage, and worship (for me).

Mythical

I'm inclined to agree with the OP.

Life is the time that's given to you to do what you will with.

A potpourri of feelings.

Why so feely?

 

[mochi]

A test. It's all a test.

 

[Nixie]

A seemingly inescapable condition aggravated by the presence of others.
A long list of events combining to create the sum total of myself.
Joyful
Tedious
Random occurrences and individuals colliding to enhance the experience.
Requiring serious study and contemplation to divine full knowledge.
Beautiful
Ugly
A complex web of extremes and polar opposites requiring balance.
Difficult to navigate despite attempts to the contrary.
Wonderful
Terrifying
Hopefully I see life
For what it was, what it is, and what it can be

You got that right.

You got that right.

I love being right. Say it again, please.

Pay tribute first.
