What do I see in life and about life?

Life is beautiful. I simply can't think of the best positive word to describe life. Perfect? No, it isn't so. Nothing is perfect and if life is ever perfect, why do people fret and cry? Why do people scream and shout? Why do wars happen and why are lives taken away abruptly? Why do people keep demanding for things? If it was ever perfect, we wouldn't be what we are today. We would be the most pampered creatures on earth and simply brought down for eternity. That can be a fantasy to dream about ....

I see life has a rainbow - different colours, dragged across the sky and what seems like never ending. From a point of view on a normal spot on Earth, the rainbow stretches across the sky and fades away. But, it feels like it's being stretched continuously. The different colours represents the different emotions one would experience daily.

Life is full of infinite promises. Every day, I wake up to a new start not knowing what will happen next. It'd be very encouraging to see a positivity around me and otherwise, discouraging to see negativity. We often hear of deaths of people and sometimes, they are loved ones. It's definitely hard to swallow the brutal truth, but life is not for eternity. There'll be a time when one has to go. It's just sooner or later, young or old. But then again, I wish death had never existed. And as it do, I wish I would die a painless death. To make it sound gentle, a peaceful one.

Life is like the sky - plain and simple. It all matters on how you make your life more enriching or painful. No one came to Earth with no problems. Everyone has problems that is not seen on the surface for it's all inside the little fragile body.

Sometimes, I feel like I've been deprived with all the good stuffs. There are some people living off the rich lifestyle and flaunting all their good stuffs. Pure arrogance which allows disrespect. But then again, I compare myself or rather, my life with the really poor and I ask myself, "Am I truly deprived? Should I even say that?" No, I should never say that. There are so many other people who struggle bloody hard just to even make a few grains of rice on the table and here I am, having proper shelter to cover my head. I'm being loved and well taken care of. Life is promising to me.

I see life like a jigsaw puzzle. When you 'destroy' the puzzle, it is an empty cardboard. Likewise, when you destroy life (suicide), it's empty. You gain nothing. Every puzzle has a clue and a meaning. Piecing up every puzzle would result in a complete and ultimate picture which says a lot. As a saying goes, "A picture says a thousand words". Applying that to life, when we are in troubled times, we learn to piece the broken reality back and soon, we'll realise that there is a solution to it and that life is complete again.

To be able to see the Sun every day, I count my blessing sincerely.

My course module of Life Management Skills (LMS) have thought me so much. It's very general but when I use the learning skills to improve specific qualities of myself, life is so much more fulfilling.
