What is the essence of life?

Hello hivers! It has been a while since i post here, but it just hit me today that i have been denying myself of one of the things that makes me human and that i have been keeping my thoughts to myself.

There is a question which i woke up again to ask myself this morning and i believe at one point in our life we all may have also asked ourselves this question.

What is the essence of life❓

This is one question that has been ringing in my head. Most people thinks this is a religious question but it is definitely not.

Have you ever question yourself what is the difference between you and the most complex artificial intelligence (AI) machine.

Have you question why some people sees **wealth gathering **as the 'essence of their life'. And does it bother you that many people fail to get this wealth and died. Does that mean they do not get essence for life?

Some people believed raising of family (marry and get kids) is the essence for their life. Does that bothered you as well? So what about those that never get married or have kids, have they failed in finding essence to life?

So many people use different standard to measure the essence of life. And as you come in touch with this wirte up , i will like to know your view and what you think is the essence of life.

My view on this matter is simple, though it may sound foolish or trivial, but it is my opinion.
I feel the essence of life can be explained in these two words **' RELATIONSHIP ' AND IMPACTFULNESS '. ** I don't know if there is anyone who lived and have no reason to " RELATE" with other people from the day he/she was born till the day he/she dies.

You may have everything in life or not have anything in life, but you can never be whole if you do not have relationship with people because it is one thing that defines us as human. True, you may have** positive or negative relationship**, but surely you must have relationship with people. And this relationship is what determines the impactfulness that you have in your life time.
Note, just as you may have positive and negative relationship, you can also have positive and negative impact.

I belive our time in this world is measured by the relationship we have with people and the impression we creat in their heart while we are alive. These two words (Relationship and impactfulness)' i am not attributing to either good or bad, because there are people who had relationship and bad impactation, i believe that is the essence of life for them. Just like the other way round, relationship and good impactation.
Knowing fully well that whatever i have lived for, i shall be remember for, the essence of life can only be defined by what we have done, and by those close us or by impact we have on the world as whole at the time of our existence.

I well reserve my final thought on this matter as i await to see/ read your comments on what you think is the Essence Of Life

Do have i great week ahead...
