What are the basics of life?

Most times I sit back and wonder 💠***how God created the sky? How did he create the earth?
How come the earth is so far from the sky?
The stars and the moon? The color of the seas and oceans, why are they similar to that of the sky?
I found myself on the earth's surface, where was I before that time? I started to live my life, how come they gave me a name and I responded to it? After a little while I get old and old, why should I get older? I saw people die and I don’t even know when I would, why?
One day I know I would leave and never come back, what would the people say about me? Would they pray for me or lay curses on me? Have I done so much good to people? Or I was just like a snake that crawled on a mountain leaving no traces?***
Many times we think a lot and different things would surely come to mind, that’s humanity. We are into a strange world, we came in like a stranger, and surely we would leave like one. Most times it pains the heart to see someone today wave goodbye 👋 then tomorrow they are no more.
Four things I found in life which even made life more fun.
Inequality
Assume for a world where everyone is equal, everyone is rich, we are all males, we are of the same age, we have the same stature, we have similar complexion, and everything being equal. And you still think our existence is worthwhile. The interesting thing about inequality is to see the older ones seek respect from the young, to see the younger show respect to the elders, maybe someday they might become old. To see the rich and wealthy ones help the poor and to see the poor ones need help from the rich. To see the powerful people become obsessed with their powers, and using them over the less privileged. To see a teacher that taught a student to become a doctor and then tomorrow the teacher had to pay the doctor for health issues. To see a rich man become poor and the poor man becomes rich, to see beauty in the eyes of the opposite sex and get attracted to them. I see this as something that makes life even more interesting to live.
Hopes, dreams, and wishes.
It is said that if wishes are horses, beggars would ride. Yeah! Not only beggars but everyone would ride. Hopes and dreams made life an interesting place, to see the poor man today never giving up and still having hope that tomorrow would be better, yet might still die poor, to see the rich man work hard today so he won’t lose all the wealth in his possession yet might end up poor. To see a young boy hoping to become someone great in life and would surely attain such a position thereby sometimes some would hope and get diverse, while some won’t even get anywhere. It makes life intriguing when you see the young ones hoping to grow old to achieve some things in life.
Forgetfulness
It’s in human nature to be forgetful, assume humans never forget. How do you think the world would be today?
Our forgetfulness made life an interesting place. It is amazing to see how a mother goes through pains to give birth to a child, and might even promise not to give birth again but in no time you see her pregnant again.
Most times we forget what would happen if a man who had suffered days of pain and sorrow became rich and never looked like one who had passed through pains. We forget about the people we lost in life, time of happiness, time of sorrow, time of pains, time of joy, but the present life we live is all we know.
Death
This is so much uncalled for. The sudden occurrence and how it shocks made life a peaceful abode. Let’s imagine a life where we all continue to grow old and older then we still continue to live, how would that look? But the fact that new people come into our lives and some leave our lives too, we welcome some into the world and wave goodbye to some, this occurrence makes life a place to stay. Death might come as a shock and sometimes as a blessing, we lose our enemies, our friends, our families, our loved ones, and we know we would never see them again.
