"Life is transformation of energy from one for to another." - A macro scientific opinion may sound absurd by majority of us, but its true when you see things at highest macro level (universe) level. But what about economy, politics, humanity, culture and man kind???? Is it way of just engaging ourselves, keeping our mind away from the reality? then again to answer this we need to define what reality is??? and a diplomatic answer for all above will be, It depends!!!
Everybody defines reality as his own comfort. For a Mathematician its numbers... real number or imaginary numbers... a economist who believes supply and demand has relation with price of the product, a religious person might call worshiping god is reality. I say, why to restrict ourselves... lets see from all perspective... limit urself to unlimitedness...
Life if just seen from one perspective, then also you will be happy... but the thrill is challenge yourself, challenge your thoughts... seek more and more knowledge...
