Journey of Life


Life. What exactly is life? Can one truly explain the meaning of the word? Is it really as complex as we make it out to be or merely as simple as living or dying? Have any of us really, deeply wondered about our insignificance in this universe?

Life........A quote from Shakespeare in his poem Life's Brief Candle " It is a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing," Is life really that worthless? When you think about a planet that is millions of light years away, they don't even know we exist. But there is another way to view life.

Life can be viewed as a gift from God. We were all put on earth for a reason. Living life to the fullest and keeping an open mind can bring unimaginable prizes. As the great Theodore Roosevelt once said " The greatest prize that life can offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing,"

What can we really make of life? A scientist will explain evolution and making of mankind. But why? Why does it happen? Why do we exist? We all try to find a purpose in life. We try to find what is the point of living.

The simple truth is that life is up to us. We create our own image of life. If you agree with Shakespeare, saying that all is meaningless, then that is your life. A simple tale waiting for its end.

But life can be just as great as Roosevelt says, but only if you let it be. I myself am trying to figure out life. But aren't we all? Its an epic journey that we get to experience. A quest we were offered when born into this world. We have a great power in all of us, and that's the power to live.

So take this chance of a lifetime, and LIVE
