Holy cow. I can't believe this thread is still going.

"Life is what you make of it."

and the people incapable of making anything positive of their lives just suffer.

That they do. Life is like a race. There are winners and losers.

"life" is a period of being extremely busy.
before life and after life, there is nothing to "do".

during life, you must "do" everything that your life obliges you to do.
even if your life entails nothing but breathing, you must perform the action of breathing throughout it's entirity.

"life" is a time when you are never at peace, because you must perform some required action at all times all through it.

life is a busy time and after it is gone, one can rest in peace because there is nothing left to do to sustain it.

life is like a fire that that burns with intentions and deliberations and it consumes all the opportunities (fuel) that it encounters , and after it is gone, the flame is gone and perpetual equilibrium with infinite ease is achieved with not an iota of effort.

perpetual equilibrium is what all living things strive for, and it is only arrived at after the striving is gone.

I acknowledge you.
