Philosophy of life, being anything that deals with knowledge or a concept, but how do we interpret the simple Philosophy of life. What is the pure concept of the human life, is it the need to succeed in a society based on self beliefs and expectations? I for one am a lonesome mind who believes that life can offer more than most billionaires can afford, life is not simply a passage but a span of time in which each individual can leave a mark. The human mind revolves around the fact that even today people who reach a certain level of fame or recognition throughout the world succeed at life, but is that what success means? Has the timeline of human evolution reached a point where we place our beliefs into men who drain the planet from it's resources, have we come to the point where even the pre-existence of our children is at risk ? We started off as being an organism who used mother nature's fruits to ensure our survival, now we worry about her survival, does success mean exploiting every gift we are given? We have come to the point where the hopes of the people rest into self absorbed men who prioritize the well being of oneself over the well being of the rest. Bruce Lee once said " Life itself is your teacher and you are in a state of constant learning" so shouldn't we learn from the mistakes we have stumbled over in the past, take the Black Plague for example, an epidemic who nearly wiped out 75-200 million, World War 2 who brought the death of 3% of the world's population for an estimated 60 million. to conclude we have reached a point where all over the world problems are knocking at our doorsteps and are in need of immediate actions, Global warming,World hunger, Poverty all these are perfect  examples of the problems we deal with, now my question is do we humans call that succeeding at life ?
