“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”
~ Robert Frost
This Robert Frost quote is an amazing quote and I definitely agree with it. A lot of people nowadays are saying that their lives are ending just because of a few bad decisions or things that went wrong. But hey, it’s not their fault (sometimes.) Specifically teenagers nowadays, they say “FML” which is an acronym for “fuck my life”. Some say it playfully while others are dead serious. The way they portray it, it sounds like the world is ending and there’s no hope left. But they’re wrong, and this quote sends the right message. They’re so focused on the bad things that that they don’t take the time to look around, which relates to my image up there.
Even if many bad things happening and some “door closes” on them, many good things will happen as well and people take the good things for granted. Many doors will open as soon as some closes. There are many opportunities in life and we all have the chance to take the opportunities. Many people, who don’t take up the opportunities, will see it as a “missed opportunity” and they’ll dwell on that fact, while missing all the opportunities that are right in front of them. So they’ll miss those opportunities as well and it will continue in a chain until they really notice that there are many other opportunities. My point of view on this may be optimistic, and their point of view might be pessimistic and they clash with each other, but I’d rather be optimistic than pessimistic because it’s a better way to view life in optimism than pessimism.
Anyways, this quote goes for adults and children alike. People just need to chill nowadays and stop worrying. It isn’t the end of the world if you don’t get the task done, sure it may have consequences but that’s beside the point. You can always do it at another time, people just need to enjoy life and “stop and smell the roses and enjoy the scenery around them” so to speak. Everyone is in a rush, and being in a rush is a bad thing. The other day I was reading Avi Cohen’s new blog entitled “Life and Its Fullest” (http://lahaiseslair.com/avic/2010/04/22/life-and-its-fullest/) and I definitely agree with him and his point that people should just enjoy life overall and “So never forget to enjoy those small things that make life great, or find small things that could make it great.”
Life will always go on whether you want it to or not and accept that you can’t have everything perfect and many things will go wrong, but many things will go right as well at times and to just not live through life as an empty vessel and actually live your life.
