Walking Tall …a note to life

Life is as sweet as it is painful. The more is joy as there is sorrow. And yet, despite it, life is poignant, and it is the very smell that the short stay makes us breathe. In this interval, we walk a many steps…growing with it; as we leave behind our crawling days and walk tall in the years that it follows. Walking tall, we cherish many a moments and regret a few that fuels us with guilt every time they are remembered. When life is meant to be cherished, I say, why reminisce those down times and repent our deeds which now are a part of the history? Love is what you are to cherish, and with it, the fine days of friendship which are and were full of funny talks, pleasant thought, and trustworthy bonds.

Life however is not just to be taken as a source of amusement, wonder and awe. It also should be taken as a learning stage for indeed life is a colossal university without any prescribed text books to study. It is a school where one learns as they do their deeds. It is the ultimate test of our conscience, morality, perspectives and differences in order to survive the harsh course time overpowers us, making us frail as we scream in agony, surrendering with a white flag saying, “Oh! Stop it, it’s too much. I can’t take more of it!” And yet, you’re white flags, no matter how many you show matters. It is your test, and you have to pass it, and there’s no way out. In universities, your exam time would end in a few hours, but not here. One is constantly put in to test. Probably that is why Charles Darwin said, survival of the fittest!

Life is full of deeds, categorized as either good or bad. There is no “middle” deed that carries equal parts of good and bad; balancing the latter with the former. From the good deeds, we get encouraged and try best the next time as well. Contrary to it, from the bad deeds, we learn not to repeat those actions again. It is from the latter that you are to learn the most. After all, one just didn’t say that “failures are the pillars of success!” If the former were to be the truth, one would have rather said that “achievements are the pillars of success!” The drawback of the aforesaid statement is that, were it to be true, one would never learn, and life, undoubtedly would have one in vein! Shedding of light more on achievements, to me, would reap in people more pride than making them humble enough to confess and apologize the wrong doings. I have never learnt a thing from my formal academics than this informal school of experience has taught me. Despite the turbulent times I’ve faced time and again, never has it been futile. I have learnt something now and then and it is this very essence that has made my life worth living. In spite o the poignant smell, it amazingly instills a charm of itself. With the ensuing years that I have been living, the poignancy has lured and attracted me the most by it’s poignant charm! No wonder I exclaim at the thought of life in joy for I know, this is the only life I have and will ever live. I do not know if there is life after death. However, I wish it be for this life isn’t enough for e to do anything. Moreover, it is not enough for me to write for endless hours praising its glory that I now have started to admire!

I love my life for it has given me many things I otherwise wouldn’t have been entitled for. Of most, it gave me my parents and sister whom I love the most. likewise, it also gave me my friends, who are dear to me, and a girl I love dearly, someone I never wish to au revoir. Moreover, it also gave me creativity and words that has now helped me praise it, along with my sincere note to thank life and God as well for giving a soul to my body by which I now live my life. I love my life and everyone that are a part of me because I know, and thus I believe that without them, I wouldn’t have been who I now am, and without me, neither would they have been themselves because everyone aids the other; making them or destroying them.
