Life
Life is energy
Life is consciousness
Life is to see, to smell, to hear, to touch, to taste, to think
Life is joy
Life is hope
Life is evolution and change
Life can be sadness
Life can be war and bloodshed,
Lies and dead
Life can be total destruction
Mushrooming without control
Just like an atomic bomb
It is our choice
To thrive in love and wisdom
Or to die crushed by an atomic bomb and war.
Life is silence
Life is light, the beauty of nature with its mountains and the clear blue sky
Life is water
Present in our streams, lakes, and vast oceans
Life is full of endless possibilities
Positive or negative
Good or bad
Happy or tragic
The possible outcomes depend on us
Be responsible in life, have high hopes and aspirations
Set goals for yourself and be constant and determined to accomplish them
Regardless of what they may be
Always try, aim for the best,
But if you ever fail,
Never give up, remain undefeated
If you lose hope,
You may lose everything
Even your own life.
Give love to receive love
Because life is love
Flowers grow with a bit of love.
Life is peace
Life is respect and understanding.
Life is hope.
What is life to you?
Do not wonder or dream about a possible future,
I warn you, you may get lost.
Your past is gone, it is unchangeable, and it is now part of who you are
In this very moment I invite you to
Listen to your breath, inhale and exhale,
Touch your chest, feel your heart beat
You are alive.
Forget about your past for a moment
Let the wind blow it away from your mind
But never forget who you are because
I warn you, you may get lost
In the road of life.
Recalling the past in our minds may revive nostalgic events of our lives.
Let’s live the present, this very moment is now ours,
But do not be selfish; engage with others in your life
Before you know it, most of life is gone
But do not let it be gone
Life is precious; learn to value it before you die.
Life is to learn to have true love in our hearts, and to share that same love with others
Life gives us the opportunity to live innumerable experiences under
Innumerable circumstances
Life means to learn from our mistakes,
Do not let anyone take your life away from you
It is only one.
What have you learned from life?
I am all ears.
What is life?
Smile.
