The life one lives may be for a short period.. maybe it may last only for a few seconds. But that life span should be praised by one an all for the knowledge and valour exhibited by the person, and gains uninterrupted reputation for the whole lifespan or even more. This is the view of seasoned and learned people who know fully about life. See, even a crow is living, and it is living almost for eternity, just eating dirt and the offerings made by people inoblation to dead souls.Is that life ?
