Life – A poem about the meaning of life

Posted in Poetry by Amanda at 09:44 on 17th July 2008

Just when I start to think there is little point to this life I find a truly amazing woman has managed to accept life for what it really is; A test of faith.

No matter what you do in your life make it worth living, for a life not worth living is a life wasted.

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it

Life is beauty, admire it

Life is bliss, taste it

Life is a dream, realize it

Life is a challenge, meet it

Life is a duty, complete it

Life is a game, play it

Life is a promise, fulfill it

Life is sorrow, overcome it

Life is a song, sing it

Life is a struggle, accept it

Life is a tragedy, confront it

Life is an adventure, dare it

Life is luck, make it

Life is too precious, do not destroy it

Life is life, fight for it

- Mother Theresa

    My battle with depression began shortly after the birth of my first child and has never stopped. I suppose it never will. I have learned that balance is key to dealing with this disease. Freiman talks of the meaning of life in his latest book and it really makes sense. He talks of a set of scales that need to be balanced. One side of the scale is full of internal things and the other side full of external things. Freiman lists the attributes that add weight to the scale and asks the reader to decide the balance. Find your proper balance and you find the ability to be happy. http://www.gafreiman.com is the book site. Life is like a box of chocolates and that is the beauty.
