The world is like bubbles that come on the surface of water and burst again into water. If it is a conscious experience then it is like a fruitful seed. If it is unconscious then it is a wasted seed.The world is the planet and all the people on it, or describes the things that are important to a person. An example of the world is planet earth. An example of the world is all of the people who live on Earth. An example of the world is your family.
