Falvours of life~

Life. How can it be described as in just one word? It's so enormous, surrounding massive objects, both living and non-living. It's everything, I guess.

Life is so special that it has its flavours. Not just a single flavour, but more than you could ever imagine. The very first moment we step foot on this place, our lesson begins. From the beginning, we learn about calling our parents "father" and "mother". During early childhood, we make friends with almost any people, we just don't have any evil motive, we're so innocence. That's a sweet moment. At least everyone was true.

Up to the primary, we learn more in school and life. We often fell on the ground, and cry. But, we learnt not to cry and stand up again. Our purpose was just to have fun during primary. Up, up again to secondary, where life became a little more serious. Friends again, some closer, some further apart. And even some evil motive started constructing. Crush, first love, might be so sweet that people could forget about almost any other thing. Ended, and life may seem bitter. Higher secondary, it's the final exam that crawls nearer. Some, too tensed to even think about eating. Some, know the way of relaxing. And some, don't even care about any stupid exam papers. Graduated, some may think they're free, some may think it's another beginning point of life. Courage, curiosity, future.

College, and again, graduated. Getting into the society. Working, pressure, deadlines, money. Met the love of your life, get married, build up a family. Taking care of children, hoping someday they could grow up and be successful. Parents leaving, saying goodbye, and finally, ourselves leaving, missing the others. Sweet, bitter, sour, salty, bittersweet, spicy, these flavours aren't enough to just describe life. Life is more than that.

Many might wonder what's the purpose of living if we're all gonna die. What for coming here while we're leaving soon? Well, I think life is like a special occasion.

Some chose to live life with plain simplicity. Some asking for perfections in an imperfect world. Some doing good deeds, some bad. Some being intelligent, some teaching others to be intelligent. Some constructing, some eradicating. Some begging to live, some don't even wanna exist. Well, I think that we are all here not just for fun, but we could make a difference in the world, getting good use of the knowledge we gained. Life, is dead, it's just life, and it's up to us to choose how we would wanna live. Likewise, knowledge, is dead, it's us, human, who choose to use it on good, or evil. Some invent bombs, some invent medicine. It's all human.

Human itself, is a great knowledge. We should learn ourselves. Learning human, and knowing human. Human beings are often blinded with self emotion, greed, and selfishness. But when we calm down and think again, isn't there a better choice?

Life is short, too short to be wasted. People don't stay for long, everyone would be going someday. Well, we knew that, but, doesn't seem like people are cherishing. War, politics, conquer, unfairness, what's all these? By looking at the wounds on our world, if everyone knew that we wouldn't be possible to live on earth, anymore. Then what's all these? We come to the world empty-handed. Similarly, we take away nothing while we go. It's a pity these people never tasted the flavours of life. There's so much more we could get in life~
