Balloons!

It was just another day in my life. Only that I found myself in a new place. Though shocked, I somehow found it easy to adapt there. I was asked to stand in an already longer line, which kept moving slowly, like a conveyor belt in motion.
I did and was wondering where we all were going. Nobody even made an attempt to talk, so, I was talking to myself a bit. We were led to a large room which had so many tiny windows, all on the same side, placed about 1 feet away from each other. As directed by an attendant, we all went and stood before them [one per window]. All of them were open and led to a vision of hundreds of people inflating something on their own.
They all were of the same colour, which I cannot name now. While some inflated their balloons to be much bigger, some of them did stop after theirs were of a moderate size. Some left theirs, when the balloon size was just about a handful. I was curious at first and confused and bored later. "Why am I here?", I was saying to myself. But I also wanted to know the mystery behind the 'balloons'. I asked the attendant, what they all were doing. "Didn't you realize? They are filling up life in to formless bodies!", he said. The world seemed to swirl before me and I leaned on a wall nearby, trying to understand the entire thing.
"Tell me then! Those things that are inflated big, are indicating that people having those will live much longer! Isn't it?", I asked.
"Actually, its the other way around!", he said, smiling.
p.s. 1 - "But why am I here and seeing this strange thing?", I asked. "At the end of the tour, you will either be one of those lifeless bodies to be inflated, or join the ones that blow!", he said.
p.s. 2 - [Added later] I woke up confused, as usual.
