Starting Line

When does life start? When you were born? College? Age? No. Life starts when you understand the possibilities, the imagination, the environment, the feelings and the communication. Understanding your surroundings gives you the advantage of actually living. Our eyes see and our minds comprehends what we understand. But each individual's understanding is similar and different from one another. Different meanings of certain subjects. Views and actions. What we need to learn is to co-exist. Let ourselves solve the best way. A man who depends too much, gains too little. A man who's autonomous gains too much, enjoys too little. In life there is balance and imbalance. Conflicts makes us move. It what makes people strive. Good or Bad. We don't know the equivalence of the world.

Hi! Your title says so much about your story, the beginning of Life and it's constant influx of change, conflicts, differences, and uncertainties (at least by how I understood it. :) Very thought-provoking piece. Thanks!

"Life starts when you understand the possibilities, the imagination, the environment, the feelings and the communication"....Very powerful.
I enjoyed the perspective you bought forward, very practical.

Thnk you for the time for reading this and review. Long story short, the actual idea is "Wait till someone slaps you in the face, that's when you know what it felt like"

Greetings TheSearcher.

As an early morning read, I find this piece, or perhaps I should say entry, somewhat delightful, and it's as if it wishes to tease the mind out of its shell of protection, if only for a slight while. These seem like the thoughts of an individual just beginning the journey of the self, the start of understanding what lies within themselves, and it does so with the gentle melody of a child's curiosity - if only it was a natural course for each blossoming individual, don't you think?

I would like to document some interesting points here if that would be okay. Firstly, you write: "Our eyes see and our mind comprehends what we understand." Now, I have been told by many people I am overly scrupulous and pedantic, and it is from this kind of thing I see it in myself, for in truth, the eyes are the means to see, and the brain is what lets us see, for eyes severed from all connection serve absolutely no purpose; the word-equation for this would be something along the lines of: Brain = sight, sight = the ability to see, the ability to see = eyes, eyes = ability to perceive external experience - do you see? (I could not help myself there). However, I do believe you are correct in stating how the mind is our most prominent tool in comprehending the atmosphere between perception and experience.

Indeed, an individual's understanding is wholly unique per being, and no matter how similar, an ideal cannot be absolutely synonymous - this is something I wish to explore using a thought-experiment, but in practical and real-world physics, the possibility of to identical ideals is profoundly improbable. Here I think I would do well to state how you may find an interest in my "Human Ideal" series here on this website; I think an individual like you may find the content highly interesting.

When you lead from "Views and actions" on to learning to "co-exist" I begin to get mixed messages, and I feel that a good bit of advice I could give, is for you to extend this piece, and carefully detail from one point to another, rather than just stating things. The links between your statements are non-existent, which creates for this (I understand it may just be personal reflection) a feel of an infantile outburst; as if an individual cannot fully express himself, so must do so through means without and justification. It is due to the latter that I fear you may perhaps become embarrassed, or perhaps you may have to apologise for your outburst, OR the other option - this being the greater option - is to portray to those whom you wish, what it was you really meant; turn what began as thoughts beyond the expression of language into the beautiful flow that is letter to letter, word to word, sentence to sentence, and paragraph to paragraph; experience and knowledge to meaning and worth.

Indeed, I feel you would do well to expand this piece - you have knowledge in you, you just need to tickle you writing ability and inspiration to find it in its glory.

As for a slight few mistakes, I shall document them below and capitalise the word[s] that need updating.

Understanding youR surroundings...

But each individual'S...

Different meanings OF(?) certain subjects...

...IMBALANCE.

It's what makes people strive. [ - to ]


Thank you for this my friend.

Surprisingly enough when i saw the review. I immediately said to myself "This is going to take a while". Anyways thank you for the suggestion and agreement. You have no idea how much thoughts, ideals and theories I wanted to place. But it seems that my status of environment, time and living has been giving limits of my approach. I may take action in a later time. But I cannot say nor imply that i will not forget. The minds of certain people has limits to what they can hold. But it never had a rule of expanding the limit.
