I asked a woman in her 80s, what is life all about?

I asked a woman in her 80s what life was all about and she answered with "We do the best we can do, and that's all we can do".

In any case, what do you think life is all about?

Life is about different things to different people. That being the case, I feel sure there are many people who can come up with better answers than mine. Expressed as simply as possible, I think life is all about doing whatever we can to ensure, when our time comes to leave this world, we leave it a better world that the one we found when we came into it.

While I can tell you the field harmonics of a string field, I can't answer that question personally, I say ask a philosopher not a science person. There are no right or wrong answers to this question I think though. I think personally, "Just enjoy the ride it has its ups and downs life just like a quantum wave function and try to enjoy it."

Life begins again when you reach 50 years age.  Testosterone Gets low and estrogen gets high. Then everything change. Not only physically but mentally too. And you do not know it beforehand but have to live it through. There are two lives: before menopause (climacteric, change of life) and after menopause.  

Woman Who is 80 years old will answer just like any man would. But a man Who is 60 years old will answer just like any woman would. The roles have changed.

But when it comes about life I have no answers yet. I only have learned that at the end everyone knows more than in the beginning.
