what is life actually???

Just before a baby is born,      an angel shows it everything there is to know     and learn      on Earth.
Then at the moment of birth, 
     the angel touches the infant’s upper lip,      and the child forgets everything.
We spend the rest of our lives 
     remembering      what the angel showed us.
This is a generic guide 
     to the meaning of life.
It does not describe one view
     of the meaning of life      and recommend you adopt it.
It helps you remember 
     what the angel showed you.
The angel showed you 
     the meaning of life.
In case you have not remembered yet, 
     here is what the angel showed you.

Just exactly as if you are landing a spaceship 

     from another galaxy, 
     your soul enters your body
     and lands here on Earth. 
Perhaps you come from out of nowhere, 
     out of nothingness. 
Or else you had a previous existence somewhere, 
     in another realm 
     or in this realm, 
     and you have forgotten it. 
Perhaps you land here 
     of your own free choice.
Or some cosmic force 
     some karma 
     beyond you
     causes you to land on this planet; 
     and you have no choice. 
No matter. 
This is Earth. 
You land 
     and stay for a while.
 

You come here to do certain
     specific
     things.
You may have one task
     or many.
Your tasks may be obvious to you.
     or you may need time,
     effort,
     maybe struggle
     even to clarify
     your tasks.
You may never quite even clarify your task
     until the moment
     your time in this body
     ends.
You may work on your task for years
     before you realize,
     “This is my task.”
The tasks you came to perform
     may take the whole of your life
     or be done in an instant.
You may be aware
     you are performing your life task
     while you do it.
You may perform your task quickly,
     hardly noticing
     anything special,
     unaware
     you are doing the task
     you came to do
     while you do it.
Your task may be so easy,
     obvious and
     natural,
     you never even wonder,
     "What is my task?"
Your unique blend
     of talents and interests
     may lead you
     to your task
     and you just do it.
Or, your task may be a constant,
     unpleasant
     struggle
     you fight
     every step of the way.
Your task may be noble and wonderful
     and gain you
     recognition,
     rewards
     and honors.
Or, it may be simple,
     totally unnoticeable
     by anyone else.
