Life is said to be the property whereby things live. Despite the vast knowledge that has been gained about life and the form of life, the term still lacks any generally accepted definition.
According to the New American Encyclopedia, life on earth is an incredible variety of forms- over one million species of animals and three hundred fifty thousand species of plants. Speaking of a million species of animals to include ourselves as one of these, and is considered the highest kind of all animals. Yet, despite superficial differences, all organisms are closely related. The form and matter of all life on earth is essentially identical, and this implies that all living organisms shared a common ancestor and that life on earth has originated only once.
Life comes from one and only creator who is the most loved, respected and the most prevalent Father of all that is God. He created everything including the non- living things that surround us. To mention a few, he created the sky, the moon, the rivers, the seas, the lakes, the sun and the beautiful twinkling stars in the sky. These beautiful twinkling stars tell me that life really is worth living. They are telling me how meaningful and colorful life is.
There are times that the stars in the sky are unseen due to heavy dark clouds that usually try to cover them from our naked eyes. But even if it is hard for them to escape from the clouds they always find ways and means to recover and shine brightly as if nothing happens.
Just like us, when we experience a significant loss, rejection or betrayal from our loved ones, we are often deeply wounded. We blame ourselves for being weak and inferior. We even throw to ourselves the negative words, thinking of our stupidity, cowardice and failures.
Life can be cruel and unjust. It can shatter our dreams, destroy our plans and even take away our hopes. We don’t even know tears come running down to our cheeks just because of the hopeless situation we suffer.
But the fact is, life has chosen us to enjoy its wonders and to unravel its mysteries. Whatever it is that life is a hold for us, no one else can accomplish it but we.
Looking back to our elementary days, we thought life was very easy. Whenever we have problems, our parents were always there for us, guide us and give us the solutions. But now that we become a little bit older, life becomes more uncertain, treating us as worthy of facing challenges and finding solutions to every situation. We are now capable of finding ways to help us carry on with life. In this way we started to understand the meaning and the color of life. When there are no frustrations we cannot feel the real happiness.
Today is the best time to explore and to discover who we really are and how we can make the most out of life. We are able to know the things that are for us and the things that are not meant for us. Knowing these we will be able to fulfill and to live the kind of life that we desire. Hopefully, we will be able to reach for our dreams and ambitions. We must learn to be patient for the times that we’ve been hurt, for after this, happiness and success are ours. These experiences give us the reason to live and enjoy life, then make the most out of it.
