"LIFE"

As something begins, something also ends. Life. As a child is born, at the very same moment, one dies. Life; what is this? Is it solid, liquid, or gas? Is it a gift or a curse? Is it an open book or a hidden veil? Is it beautiful or bitter? Maybe it can be both. If you ask me, life is having a purpose. It is not simply reading books or memorizing poems. It is not complex like a multi-layered equation. It is something more. It shows a sign of unpredictability. It may be a soft pillow or a tough rock. You are not sure what it is. It may also be a river. It is certain where it is going. Nevertheless, it is not impossible for a river to change directions or produce lagoons. It can give you fish, poison, or nothing. Nothing is what you get when you are too scared to risk a dip into that river. When I say having a purpose, am I certain of what my purpose is? No, not yet, but I must look for it. I must discover it. And if I don’t, at least I know one thing. I did not reach my goal. My life is as wasted as a thousand-dollar bill falling into a manhole. And what hurts the most is I know I have obtained only the least. I know obtained only a drop of water from the vast sea. I cannot feel any fulfillment. My heart sinks lower than the ground beneath me. I do not feel complete. Something is missing. There is more to life than just eating, living comfortably, settling your bank account, strolling with your dog or having luxurious parties. It is something more. It is about happiness and fulfillment because of completing something. It is your purpose. Even if you’re an inch from obtaining something, if you did not obtain it, you still won’t be able to feel contentment. There is disappointment. I have another thing to say, a single line can serve as a bridge to even the largest gaps. A single step can complete a long journey. A single thread can complete a dress. A single block can complete a puzzle. A single hair can complete a dog. A single thought can complete a man. And the single man can complete the world. You have a life. It has been proven a blessing if you know how to use it. It can be happy or bitter. It can be wasted or spent properly. Life has a purpose. If you find out your purpose and complete it, there is happiness. But is there fulfillment? Are you satisfied? Can it fill the hole questions have formed? As long as the puzzle of my life has missing pieces, I’m not satisfied. In life, I must set a goal, and then I will aim to reach it. Then, let’s presume that I have reached my goal. Does it satisfy me? Is it enough? No. I must find all the missing pieces of my puzzle. I must feel happiness and satisfaction. Only when I’m content can I feel happy. Only when I’m happy can see the beauty of life and I can say that I have obtained more than the least. And last but certainly not the least, only when I complete my purpose in life can I feel complete and it may serve as the last missing piece of the puzzle. You, have you completed your puzzle? If you have, good for you! But if not, I’m wishing you good luck!
