It can be said that life is fragile in the same way that it is something grand and enjoyable. By this I mean that it can be over in just a matter of seconds or even less. We as humans are not aware that being able to walk, breathe, talk, see, hear, and take delight in the beauty of life are all blessings from God. We usually do not realize what we have until it is too late. Furthermore, I believe that each and every person has a purpose in this world being that it is grand and we all have something to share. Whether it is to impact others, display love, create a new invention that can change the world, share morals and values, teach/learn, be a positive influence and more. All of the problems that are in the world that separate individuals will not matter one day. Who we were and what we did will be all that matters in the end and how we will be remembered. In addition, I believe that God gave us freewill to choose whichever path we desire, with knowing our limitations and being wise as well as knowing right from wrong. I want to be the best I can be each and everyday by performing small acts and seeing what it can lead to. I want to be a better person, daughter, peer, friend and more because that makes me content in ways that one can’t imagine. I am not looking for richness, I am looking for conformity in this world, to take advantage of all the good aspects of life, and to make a difference somehow. Thus, life matters because the time that I will leave this earth is not guaranteed and I want to leave a legacy.
I found this statement from my English class very empowering and I truly can relate
I want “To leave the world better than how I found it.” Who else wants this?
