My definition on life

"

Life is a strange sensation; a sensation not many people get to fully experience. Life has a different definition according to every person you ask. To me life is more than just breathing it’s being able to emotionally feel joy and to be carefree.

With life most people do not associate joy with life. The reason being is that people cannot see why we need to be joyful. They think they have nothing to actually live for. Then again why should we it is because the world we live in is filled with war, hate, and jealousy. The thing is that we have to find our own joy. The way I am able to find joy is by being able to have a relationship with the Lord. The reason why I say this is because joy is something that cannot be explained just like life.

My definition of life is not about having an actual heartbeat it’s about being able to have joy. To me joy is something that you are only able to have once you have accepted that you are meant to be alive for something or some reason. Being able to have a life is by going through things day by day and realizing that you are actually able to be apart of something. Joy is something that is equally associated with life, but yet hard to get a hold of. The only way I was able to have complete joy with life is by devoted my life to Christ. The one time that I can honestly say I have ever had some knowledge of what it actually felt like is in that very moment.

The feeling you get when you have joy in your life is a feeling you cannot fully explain. The reason being is that it changes with every other person. The feeling I get when I finally receive joy is a calming sense of peace. The reason this relates with life is the fact that without joy there is really no reason to go on because they feel as if they have no purpose in life.

The world itself is a horrible place to live in, but having joy makes it that much more pleasurable. The world is a place filled with horrific accidents, a place that seems to see nothing but war, pain, and suffering, yet I wouldn’t choose to be anywhere else. The reason why is not because this is we’re my family is , but because this is the place that taught me how to live, how to fully know what joy means, and to be the person who I’ve become.

With life everyone has a different definition or way of looking at it. This is because no one ever lives their life the same way; they all have a distinguished way of seeing things. Some will see it as a curse, others just as a way to make hopes and dreams come true, but with looking at life in all these ways they have one thing in common; that is the fact that you are only able to receive it once.

nice work! keep it high and go ahead.... Life is really a joyful one. You may experience both morns and happiness within your short span of life. If you do not fall into worries you will not learn the essence of life. Wrong decisions also help you improve yourself. Haven't you heard the words of Dr.Abdul Kalam?

With best wishes,
Sandra Nair.
