How do you define human existence on earth?

Some say our life on earth is like a journey

The journey begins from the day we are born

and terminates the day we die



Others say that our life is a school

We start learning from the day we are born

Everyday of our life on earth

There is always something new to learn

The schooling ends the day we die



Few compare our life on earth to the sun

Our sunrise is the day we are born

while our sun sets on the day we die



Our life can also be likened to a flower

The flower is planted the day we are born

As we grow up, our flower germinates

When we reach middle-age

our flower blooms and sparkles

After we retire, our flower fades away



Life of humans can also be equated to the four seasons

The spring covers birth to adolescent years

Summer of our life begins from adolescent to middle-age

While fall season starts from middle-age to retirement

The winter of our life will be from retirement to death



Another analogy is to liken human existence on earth

to the waxing and waning of the moon

From our birth to the time we retire from active service

can be compared to waxing of the new moon to full moon

While our life from retirement to our death

can be associated with the waning of full moon to new moon



Whatever may be your own analysis of life?

Always live everyday to the fullest
