Life A Word With A thousand Connotations
Life as we know it is a continuum of experiencing
Why does the word ‘’LIFE’’ arouse so many impression in different people?
Some take life as something full of worldly pleasures, one after the other.
To others, their life is full of negativity, one hassle after another, not worth living.
Yet, there are some who are just lost in the wonder of creation. They delight in exploring what life has to offer.
Life is the impression of what you personally experience.
What registers within you — good or bad
Or what you make of it.
And what you learn from it.
Whatever you experience in life
Whether pleasure or pain
Or a mixture of both
Must one day come to an end — death.
What then is life about?
What do we do with the experience?
A meaningless connotation
Or a useful significant?
We have always celebrated life
And mourned death
That is how we live
That is what is important to us
We only want to talk about life
And pretend death does not concern us
Yet the two existence is the useful significant
That binds our life together.
The material world of the body and science -the tangible
The ethereal world of the spirit — the invisible
It is important to understand the two — the two are expressed in nature
So in enjoying life, man should prepare for death.
‘’If we go to the root of the matter, it is our concept of death that decides our answers to all the questions which life poses’’ Dag Hammerskjold (Late Secretary-General of The United Nations)
