Recently I was pondering what is the best way to measure life. Is life measurable? I don't mean years but, quality. It seems a lot of people think its all about what you did, what makes a great story. If you could judge life by the funny stories of stupid stuff you did, then I would measure rather low on life. I am rather cautious and can sometimes double and triple check whatever I'm doing. (Insert clever and intriguing quote about life here) Some people consider life is meaningless without a purpose or a 'higher' calling, and they measure life by what you have done in service to that god or gods. Even a few people think that life is nothing more than here and now, live it up before it's gone. Also I find that a persons view of life is greatly dependant of their view of heaven, hell, or some other afterlife.
What do you believe? What is a good definition of life? How do you measure the quality of life? Do you think there is an afterlife of some kind?
