Life Is Beautiful
By Peace | February 21, 2008
Life is a series of flexible changes you need to adapt at every stages of your growth. Life is a learning journey as you grow. Life is beautiful if you learn to appreciate your painting and others painting. There is no perfect painting of life. When you drip a patch of colours on the paper, that is how you want to use the patch to create another beauty out of it. Change for the better, Change to show the best of your art, a caterpillar is not always a caterpillar. A caterpillar also has a day to become butterfly. Time is all it needs.
I’ve Come So Far, In The End It Doesn’t Even Matter.
I tried so hard,
And got so far,
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall, to loose it all,
But in the end, it doesn’t even matter
What is life when I have nothing after sloughing all these years? Is it really nothing? Nope. My answers were actually revealed now, it seems…
What Is Life
Draw trees, rivers, people and sky on a piece of paper. Add some more birds, butterflies and flowers to it. Next, compare it with your real world, your natural landscape that consist the river, trees and sky. You are standing by the river, observing the beauty of the nature. What do you observe? Which do you think is life?
Lets look at another example. Put a piece of bread on the table, after a few days, what do you observe? A piece of wood(log), left in the forest for a period of time will have growths on it. There will be various types of fungus, micro-organisms, squirrels and even rabbits resting on the log. A population was formed initially, next two and three and soon a community is created! Together, they formed a beautiful picture in front of your eyes, more beautiful and perfect than any piece of painting.
Life is Spirit — The existence of spirit! What is lacking in papers, and what is happening in all living things is the existence of Spirit! If you do not know what is spirit, look at my dead dog at http://www.peaceinspire.com/2007/08/08/cebests-death-video/ . He was dead, but his body was still in front of me. But he could not move, he could not respond any more at the moment when he died. Read more at http://www.peaceinspire.com/2008/02/21/answers-to-life/
Just as air, wind, light, sound and heat cannot be seen, Spirit is invisible too. However, it can be felt — just like the heat, sound, light and air around us. All lives are filled with spirits. Spirits to triumph and spirits to survive in this world. Put some green beans on the cotton wool and you see them growing gradually as days passed by. You will see all the green beans plants tall and slim, all competing for the sunlight. If you put a green bean in a single pot, it will grow stout and strong, no body to compete with it.
What we see in this world is the result “Survival of the Fittest”. Every single organisms in this world are trying to survive without you and me knowing. The ants, working hard everyday, bringing food to its colony. The birds migrating to safer place every now and then. The virus growing stronger and stronger to resist extinction in this world. All these is because there is a spirit behind them, a spirit that wants to LIVE, because there is LIFE.
All living things contain LIFE. Life needs water, food and air, as we have learned in Science. With these, we would have life, survive. But what makes us different from plants and animals and all the other micro-organisms that is seen and unseen? They too, need air, food and water, but what really make the difference between us and all these flora and fauna is our ability to have five senses, our more developed brain, which enable man to use it for their betterment. With that, man learns to talk and learn to recognise words and language. This is how people can communicate, just like how the ants and bees would communicate. However, ours are better because we can use more to communicate, not only restricted to pheromones or body language only like some animals do.
Look at these, we only need air, food and water to survive! But there are definitely more to life if we are human beings. If you want a great life, a success in life, we are more than just animals and plants. We build house, we make plays, make furniture, bake and cook, and many many things you can think of. There are so many professions and work in this world. These are the creation and results of mankind. However, man are always not satisfied with what they have.
What makes human being different from that of plants and other animals is also because of our more developed heart. Our heart is a special organ, both physiologically and spirtually. The heart is the battery of our life as mentioned at http://www.peaceinspire.com/2008/02/21/answers-to-life/ . Our heart is also the main motivator of our life. Our heart is the organ that give you life and control your life http://www.peacemotivate.com/2007/12/31/discipline-your-heart/ . For example, if you have $2. To a 8-year-old child, $2 is a lot because he can buy his favourite ice-cream. To a 15-year-old child, $2 is not quite enough because he can only buy her stationery and not her favourite branded bag. To the adult, perhaps 25-year-old man, what is $2? What can you buy with just $2? “I cannot even buy a car and a house!” he would think of it this way. To the 40s, married and with children, they would know the importance of $2 because everyday $2 makes a month $60. To the retirees, the value of $2 is a packet of rice or a bun. How ‘big’ is your heart or how ‘small’ is your heart will determine your life.
Your brain is another difference between us and the plants and animals around us. Our ability to use words and talk is all because of our brain. God is our creator, the giver of our life, the one who make this world and give life to this world. He had given his book of life, the Bible. He had talked to people, told his people about the way of life, but not many people choose to believe and many people choose to divert away from Him. Today, in this world, you can choose to walk your life in whichever direction you want. You can walk towards light or you can walk towards darkness. http://www.peaceinspiration.com/2008/01/05/faith/
You are the one who make choices. You have every right to choose. But you are also the one who will bare the responsibilities, the consequences of your actions. Life is full of choices. Can you afford to make mistakes when life is short? When you play a game, you may have a time limit. There are rules for the games so that the game is a fair one. Whoever cheated, you suffer penalty and demerits. Life can be a game too if you play it as a game. Life is all how you want to make it to be. God give you a brain to be as creative as you can be. But you must use your heart. You must not forget who is the giver of life and who to follow for advice and rules of the game, the life giver.
Life is the spirit of living. All lives strive to survive and want to be successful in its life’s journey. Our ultimate mission of life is within your heart. What you want to do and what you want your life to be.
See my ranking at Helium (26 people has something to say about What is life)
Once I do not know why I live. I live anyway.
Live, but feel better dead than Live…
Live and Live and live anyway.
Try and try and try,
Do and do and do.
I have lived.
Lived and see, Lived and experienced.
Saw, see, still seeing
Life is a playing of Words games and how I want to fill up this blank on the piece of paper given to me. It is not who bark the loudest who wins.
I want to win the race, the narrow door to eternity so that I may see my love ones…
Let The Rain Falls on me, I only need to live once.
I lived and am still living.
Never had I know the beauty of language and the beauty of words…
Life Is a Beautiful piece of Art.

[...] Many things happened, so little minor little things that people would not have valued and think of. These are things that people would not encountered or see. Just as he always said, and still said two to three days ago, “Throw away all things that do not earn any money.” Everyday, this word is repeated so many times. “Money”, “MONEY”, and still MONEY. I am MONEY SICK and I AM SICK OF MONEY, and yet I cannot live without MONEY. Life is full of ironies. I have yet to discover more and I have yet to master the art of LIFE. [...]
