17 years ago, on the 12th of August at 3.00
pm, one more soul was given life. Despite the painful labour, the parents’
happiness filled up the entire room along with the new-born’s cry. This is when
my journey had begun. Life ,by definition, is the sequence of
physical and mental experiences that make up the existence of an individual.
However, by my definition, life means the gift the divinity offered all of us,
along with happiness, sorrow, victory, defeat, love, hate and so on.
Firstly, life is built up as a roller-coaster. We are challenged everyday by sky-rising
situations or by destructive ones, but no matter what we should always remember
that both of them test the courage, the patience, the perseverance and true
character of a person. Whatever may happen there is no need of dismay. Always
there is the opportunity to creatively and successfully cope with the things
that life sends our way. We learn, we adapt, we change, we grow up and day by
day, we are building passionately for ourselves the road which may take us
high.
Moreover, we are
unique. Every single human life has its own path and destination. Thus life is
a mystery that needs to be discovered with the help of dream, illusion and
sensibility. Indeed, life may look a nonsense when there is nothing to fight for, or
no goal to be alive for. From my own experience, it is an extraordinary
pleasure to do something well that will set you apart from the rest of the
world. And so, life is and should not be just a bed of roses; thorns are
also a part of it and should be accepted
just the way it is. The thorns remind one of how success and happiness
can be relative and thus, not to feel disappointed rather remember that the
pain of thorns is short-lived, and the beauty of life would soon overcome the
prick of thorns. There is no doubt that there can be no gain without pain. It
is only when one toils and sweats it out that success is nourished and
sustained.
In addition, there
is one more thing that turns our lives into better ones. Love
is one of the greatest gift we can ever
hope to give and receive. Love is the one thing that can overcome so
many of the difficult times that we are faced with in life. Love is
so powerful as it can turn frowns into smiles. It can help mend the
most broken heart and It can even turn all of the ugliness in the world
into the most beautiful portrait we could ever have the pleasure to behold. Some
people spend their entire life searching for their soul-mates and barely think
about the things they have already been given.
All things
considered, we can say life has plenty of both ups and downs. We shouldn’t be
searching for perfection because that would be a sorrowful wasting of time and
energy on useless matters. Instead, life, by all means , is to be lived as
beautifully as we can.
We only live once.
