There is an innocent beauty to a flower.
Like that of a young child, first discovering their world.
There is a Magic to nature that will never be explained by science.
This is why we are here, to see, to listen, to breathe, to live and die on this earth,
and to reap what bounties we may from the life we may have lived.
You will find these treasures in the places you would least expect of them, perhaps the greatest beauty of them all is the flower that grew out of the cold cracks in the concrete, standing defiant against the cold desperation of the cities, the earth fights back to win what it has lost, and it may yet claim victory.
There is a beauty in life,
as there is a beauty in death,
just as all thing natural have their own beauty, their own light
Such do we also have a beauty, one and all.
We are only as beautiful as we believe,
whether we may be scarred on the inside, or scarred on the outside, we are still beautiful.
Only we know how beautiful we truly are. |

wow.that...was...cool. that has some very deep meanings in it, that I would not expect from a 17 year old.you have a good outlook on life.
just a question, what religion are you?your name says God, like in chritianity,but your quote is from Ghandi.wasn't he buddist? don't get me wrong, Ghandi was a great man who had a lot of truth to his words(like your quote)but, yea.(I dont mean to intrude on your personal stuff,and you don't have to answer.Im just wondering)
yea.I think you have your grammar correct and puncuation down. this probably didn't help much. but i liked it.
one more thing, I don't think this explains the meaning of life.It just shows how to live it.I think there are a couple meanings to life,and to me, this is not one.from my view, live for God and glorify Him is one of them.
anyways,keep on writing.I like it. |

i agree with hobbes that you have a very deep, intellectual outlook on life for a seventeen-year-old
ha! i love how two 13-year-olds told you that!
anyway, back to the piece...
grammar and punctuation checks out alright with me too, but that might not be very much to go on.
i really enjoyed this, even if it didn't explain what the meaning of life is directly, though it may have indirectly, as i think it did.
according to mark, your piece shows how to live life.
living is sort of the whole point of life.
kidding. kidding.
but the point of life to you would be living your life in those ways, correct?
anyhow, i really liked this.
nice work!

Thanks both of you, and yes, yo answer your question, the meaning of life is plainly, just living. To live your own life the way you think you should.
and by the way, Gandhi was actually a hindu.
peace. |
