The Rain

As I woke up this morning I peered through my window shade only to find out that it was raining. Usually I get disappointed whenever it rains, and in fact when the hard times come it appears that things keep hitting us from different directions—sort of like rain drops falling all over the ground. Sometimes, life throws us unexpected contingencies that are not in our plans; thus, at times we feel the phrase "when it rains it pours." My life has definitely been a rollercoaster ride, but life is so special sometimes I miss the very essence of life. We take some many things for granted, because we fail to understand our mortality until it sets in to lead us into the reality of things, but some people do not even get that chance. I have found that when it does rain it most likely will pour, but out of the pouring I would like to think that I have become better—though I fall at times. We fail to see that our lives are guided by the invisible hands of God. Though bad things may have happened we do not and may never understand how these bad experiences could perhaps be the seeds for the better in the future. It is either that everything has a purpose including the bad, or that life is a meaningless endeavor and we must accept some illusionary mechanism to attain meaning. So then, after the rain the sun will come up, but what matters is what you do after the rain, because the things that you do affect other people especially yourself.

Life

Life is beautiful yet it passes us by too quickly. It is imperative that we enjoy life not because we must but because we should. Destiny has a habit of bringing us back to reality. The dilemma arises when every so often it is too late to fully appreciate that which was laid before us. It appears that humanity takes for granted what makes up their very being and what environs them. Weather one has or lacks material possessions I believe it is better to have life than death. Until death stretches its hands on your loved ones you will not realize how precious life is. Does it take death to realize the importance of life? Life is now, live free and abstain from pride, ignorance, vindication, hate, intolerance, injustice, and conformity since your fate will end in the death of your current state.
