Life is a lie(c) What does the word "life" mean? Is it only a time span? Why when we meet smbody we always ask him how old is he? Why we want to know only the number of years? Is it the most important thing? I think- no, because it is more interesting to ask about experience, emotions and events, which can charecterize your life in another way. You can live for a long time, but if if is dull and boring, it isn't life. It is existence. Remember this difference.
