Life's worth

One very important question which has always intrigued me is that what's the worth of my life ? What's the thing(s) in this world for which i can give my life for ? I am sure different people might have their different opinions , but then i was never sure of mine.

The first thing which comes to my mind and which has been the famous of all has been :"love"

Lot of people in history have sacrificed their lives for their love. Even in fiction be it "Romeo Juliet" or "Titanic" saga. people have sacrificed their life for love. Even in real world not only have i heard such examples from history , but even from real life, i have heard of a few. But the question which keeps killing me is that what's the reason we can lay our lives for love if we cant find it after being dead.I don't believe there can be any love once i have given up my life. Sacrificing and doing stuff for love makes sense to me till any level you are alive. Even if your love remembers you for the rest of the life once you are dead would only cause pain and misery... I do totally understand why people do lay down their lives for their loved ones .. but ... i still feel that love can only be between to people. living happily together.

The next one which comes to my mind is "nation". Being from a defence background , i totally understand how a lot of soldiers just sacrifice their lives trying to protect their motherland. Even though, they did have families, love etc .. they happily agree to sacrifice their lives. Does this mean love for motherland is greater then love for family ? I still dont know .. But i do feel such brave people do certainly deserve a lot more than mere respect....

Next in my list is the "nothing" .. for the ones who feel that their life is worth nothing now and there's not much that it can be done to improve upon it.Well , i think, it can be true for some people , but for most of them it can't be true. Agreed, nt all can be fighters in their life, but giving up life just because you think its worth nothing now doesnt make much sense to me. Every time i fail in my life i think that there's always something better coming up .. and hence, the very aspect of surprises in life keeps me alive.

There are a lot of other things which a life can be worth of. Some say , i'll give my life if i achieve this , or my life's worth is blah blah money .. but i think .. life is precious ..its not worth anything and its worth everything .. it might be easy or difficult .. it might be fun or sad , it might be a roller coaster ride or a smooth ferry .. but for everyone with a life .. its worth something .. more than we estimate it to be ...more than we can ever estimate it to be,, and i feel that's the fun of it.. Living it is the best thing that could have happened.
