Life is pleasant, Life is miserable, Life is beautiful, Life is tragic, Life is wonderfully fortunate, Life is somberly pitiful. It is the cycle of rebirth, it is the cycle of demise.

Death cannot begin without Life and Life cannot begin without Death. It is the Yin to its Yang and it is the Yang to its Yin. Without Death, Life becomes insignificant. Without Life, Death becomes insignificant. Life is absolute, but the journey of it is relative. It is treasured and it is scorned. Life is immeasurable and yet so limited. It is fair in its unfairness, it is gorgeous in its ugliness. It is the initial bringer and it is the final judgment. It is the ripe fruit of a golden spring and it is the withering trees of a deadly winter. It is the glistening warmth of a child and the ghastly apathy of an inhuman human. It manages to become the messenger of heavenly happiness and the messenger of deepening despair.

With its blissful ignorance and humble innocence, Life delivers the worst of appalling brutality and demonizing immorality. Yet, with its cruelty, Life delivers immense felicity. Only through Life can justice be served, and only through Life can Life meet its fatal fate. It is darkness and light coexisting together in a seemingly never-ending cycle. The blessed curse bestowed upon Life, creating a graciously ominous future in hopes of the continuance of redemption and evil.

All living beings know they will die one day, but only when they understand the meaning of their own insignificant lives can they live forever.

  1. You so beautifully described the ups and downs and ever-changing nature of life. I absolutely LOVE your last sentence, I think it encapsulates the complexity but also vert simple nature of our existence. Nicely done!

  2. I love how detailed, thorough, and in-depth your comparisons are! I also really like how you concluded this post by stating something, that while sad, is something that everyone can relate too! This was really interesting to read 🙂
