When i saw Lily for the last time, she told me a lot of truths of life ,
What impressed me most was "Life is a struggle, accept it."
Maybe i can not understand it completely, because i am still a little girl.
My experiences are very less than an adult's, i have faced little difficulties. But i have started to realize it.
Life is a struggle, if we can't change it, please stop complaining and falling, adapt yourself to it and accept it.
Just try you best, begin to like everything around you.
The surprise is coming!
Hope i can keep loving my life, and my friends, who is suffering from depression, who dislikes his/her life, who is almost defeated by life, who is always thinking life is unfair, hope they will be better, feel better, do better. :)
Here is a poem for you!
ReplyDeleteMoments
(Jorge Luis Borges - Translated by Alastair Reid)
If I were able to live my life again,
next time I would try to make more mistakes.
I would not try to be so perfect. I would be more relaxed.
I would be much more foolish than I have been. In fact,
I would take very few things seriously.
I would be much less sanitary.
I would run more risks. I would take more trips,
I would contemplate more sunsets,
I would climb more mountains,
I would swim more rivers.
I would go to more places I have never visited.
I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans.
I would have more real problems, fewer imaginary ones.
I was one of these people who lived prudently
and prolifically every moment of his life.
Certainly I had moments of great happiness:
Don’t let the present slip away.
I was one of those who never went anywhere
without a thermometer, a hot water bottle,
an umbrella, and a parachute.
If I could live over again,
I would go barefoot, beginning
in early spring
and would continue so until the end of autumn.
I would take more turns on the merry-go-round.
I would watch more sunsets
And play with more children,
if I once again had a life ahead of me.
But, you see, I am eighty-five
and I know that I am dying
Dear Ms.Chan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the poetry!
That's a great and meaningful poetry.
We need more and more difficulties!!!!Or that will not be an interesting life!
And i'm very expecting to have more problems, more difficulties.
I love to face them, and i won't flinch!!
Wow, I know this poem~ and I like it very much!
