“The Philosophy of Life”

Life as we know it is a never ending cycle of various experiences. It is unpredictable yet exciting, mysterious yet fulfilling. Throughout life we learn several lessons through experiences. We are after all human beings, a being prone to commit mistakes. No one is perfect, as every people have flaws in terms of their physical and mental capacity. We all require something in order to fully achieve our goals in life. We needed the guidance of our parents in our early years in this world, the knowledge of teachers to teach us about the world and the company of friends to help us prevail in the difficult world we are living. Throughout our lifespan, numerous obstacles hinder our progress. These obstacles are felt in the form of problems and multiple adversaries. Most of us would think that these factors are sent to keep us down. But looking at the bigger picture, problems and adversaries are ironically a blessing in disguise. It is in these things that we come to understand who we really are. Without these, we won’t be able to realize our flaws and mistakes. Mistakes teach us how to act correctly in the near future and flaws give us awareness of our limitations as being ourselves. Self-understanding makes everyone a better individual. But the understanding of the self would never make one’s life perfect, it takes more than that to fulfill one’s definition of life. Life also demands motivation and determination in order for it to achieve a near perfect status. It may seem as an impossible task to fulfill, but as aforementioned life is not as simple as it may sound. It would take us years of experience to fully mention that life is indeed felt, years of hardwork, dedication and hardships to fully define one’s life. So what really is life? In order to answer its true meaning, why not try to live casually everyday? Events both expected and unexpected unfolds everyday and it is in these events that we begin to understand how it is to live. Every life is different from the other; every person is different and so is every experience. Nevertheless let us still not forget that no matter what kind of life we run, good or bad we should still be grateful to have been privilege to have been given a “life”. It is an overlooked privilege each and everyone of us take for granted. Imagine if the thing called “life” never existed. What would become of the universe? Life is indeed a great gift that should be embraced by everyone no matter what. So live your life in your own way and never regret each passing experiences that may come to it.
