POETRY OF BEING

'exploring life'

“Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.”
― Harvey MacKay

The irony of life is that sometimes it treats us like a royal being while sometimes it makes us face situations that initially seem difficult but eventually become those fun little stories of our experiences that we love to share with others.

The beauty of human mind is that when it comes across hardships it curses the destiny and when the hardship passes by it feels proud of having faced it.

Our mind is designed to search for shelter in the rain, oasis in the desert and so all we need to do is find some happiness in the sorrow and search for our hidden strength during the pain.

Many people touch our lives... and sometimes we touch theirs.

Meanings change, relationships change, feelings change and emotions change.

This changes our outlook of life, it makes us wander deep inside ourselves.

We see we observe and we acknowledge then we learn we grasp and we change.

Maybe good or bad, change is a fact. true or false we are bonded within its walls.

Dedicated to The Lord

Through the darkness of the night. you will guide my steps alright. you are my way you are my light.
Thou loves and keeps me in sight.
You are the brightest light of the darkest night.
Through every dark night you help me fight.

To my parents

for every single way you nurtured me, all your caring laps and even the little snaps and all your true l...

... middle of paper ...

...ll follow our way,

when in our mind right and positive thoughts we inlay.

Sorrow and pain are a part of living

but can be escaped by embracing the nature of giving.

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.” – Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

    “Another source of greatness is difficulty. When any work seems to have required immense force and labour to effect it, the idea is grand” (Edmund Burke).We may not enjoy tremendous obstacles while we’re experiencing them, but when they’re over, we can definitely see the benefits. In Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen, the protagonist, Cole, has had to face many obstacles in his life, such as his abusive father, his neglectful mother and his anger.

  • Critical Analysis Of Horses Of The Night

    1107 Words  | 3 Pages

    When individuals face obstacles in life, there is often two ways to respond to those hardships: some people choose to escape from the reality and live in an illusive world. Others choose to fight against the adversities and find a solution to solve the problems. These two ways may lead the individuals to a whole new perception. Those people who decide to escape may find themselves trapped into a worse or even disastrous situation and eventually lose all of their perceptions and hops to the world, and those who choose to fight against the obstacles may find themselves a good solution to the tragic world and turn their hopelessness into hopes. Margaret Laurence in her short story Horses of the Night discusses the idea of how individual’s responses

  • Adversity Horace Character Analysis

    505 Words  | 2 Pages

    Just like the sounding of your alarm every morning, adversities are ultimately inevitable in life. A Roman poet named Horace once said, "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant." Horace examines the role that adversity plays in the growth of a person’s character and understanding of burdens and times of difficulty. In these times, when adversities are encountered, one’s real character is exposed. The true depth and intensity of human nature is disclosed, but true talent is not always found. But, what is found, is the truth behind that person’s character, and the strength they truly posses.

    It is the challenges we face that make it look dark and gloomy. The key to a productive existence is not the emotions we feel when presented with adversity, but in our ability to overcome, grow and evolve. In comparison, examine the Spoken Indian searching for hope in hardships, or the extraordinary taste and smell of the wine connoisseur who lacks sight. See the trial & errors or the young man growing to love both parents, and the college student whose heart is blistering with pain from the loss of his mother, but finds healing in his new home as an emerging scholar.

  • Searching for the Perfect World in Literature

    626 Words  | 2 Pages

    Literature often explores the questions raised in life: Who are we? What does it mean to die? What kind of world do we live in? Throughout this course, there seems to have been an underlying theme in most of the works that have been read, concerning human misery. It seems that most of those who experience tremendous suffering, actually allow it to happen to themselves. If one chooses to look at the losses in life, one may never find true happiness, but if one chooses to perceive those losses as an opportunity for growth, one may find the "perfect world" right here.

  • Kahlil Gibran's On Death And Dying

    1076 Words  | 3 Pages

    Everyone has or will experience a loss of a loved one sometime in their lives. It is all a part of the cycle of life and death. The ways each person copes with this loss may differ, but according to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s novel On Death and Dying, a person experiences several stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and, finally, acceptance. There is no set time for a person to go through each stage because everyone experiences and copes with grief differently. However, everyone goes through the same general feelings of grief and loss. There are also sections in Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet” that connect to the process of grieving: “On Pain,” “On Joy and Sorrow,” and “On Talking.” Kahlil Gibran’s “The Prophet” reflects on Kübler-Ross’s model of the different stages of grief and loss.

  • Adversity In Macbeth

    816 Words  | 2 Pages

    A person’s character is developed by the surroundings around them as well as their experiences. The Roman poet Horace quotes “…Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents in which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant…” I agree with the Roman poet, Horace, in that adversity has a way of waking talent from slumber. Adversity can encourage people in ways success and wealth cannot, as there is a benefit in the hardship. In Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot, as well as Macbeth, by Shakespeare, adversity has developed the characters. From my observation, I strongly agree that experiences, such as hardship and danger, shape a person.

  • Analysis Of Schopenhauer's View Of Life

    912 Words  | 2 Pages

    I agree with Schopenhauer that suffering is a part of human and animal life. If we are realistic, life is not all sunshine and rainbows. There are times where we feel disconnected with other people and with our spirit. I believe it is the reason why we sometimes feel miserable at times, because we dwell on the past and look forward to the future; we spend too much time thinking about it that it brings pain. Another reason I support Schopenhauer’s belief is when he states that “our existence is to pay a price of our sin” (p 51). Perhaps the author meant that as humans purpose in life is to realize our sin and our pains. We have to learn how to deal with suffering because it is a part of life because even though we avoid pain, it already comes with our everyday actions and

  • Grief Case Study

    1896 Words  | 4 Pages

    This process is not easy because having a grief and working through the pain is very different from each other. This process is a broad concept because it includes several positive ways of handing the grief. The proper identification of the various emotions regarding pain and dealing with those is the main procedure of this task. The various emotions of grief are shame, hopelessness, fear, anger, guilt, sadness, loneliness, lack of hope, feeling emptiness (Beckett & Dykeman, 2017). The task can be accomplished in a correct manner if the griever is properly acknowledged by talking and understanding. Though there is one limitation in this process which can be a complex situation that is the griever can deny all the emotions and avoid talking about them. This process can create distress and anguish inside the mind of the griever. Sometimes this problem may rise due to the attitude of the society which creates a sense of grief inside the mind of the griever who tends to avoid the whole situation thinking nobody would understand. This whole criterion can be resolved if there is a proper sense of understanding among the griever and the society. (Brown,
