LIFE

What is life? I believe that almost everyone in this world have questioned themselves before. This is a philosophical question that does not have a scheme of answer. The answer will be different according to different people.

So, what is the purpose of life? We all know, death is the only way for the end of a life. No one can escape from this law, but why there are still people precious their life? Yeah, we all can only live once, there is no way for us to resurrect or restart our life if we do something wrong. When there is mistake in our life, we can only take it as experience and look forward, make sure we are not going to do the same mistake again. As life is a one way ticket, I personally think the meaning of life is for us to create or leave something value for yourself or even this world.

Maybe, the meaning of life is whatever we want it to be. It is for us to do what we want, to challenge ourselves, to exceed our own limit, to try out what we have not try. Although, we might meet difficulties in our life sometimes, take it as a challenge, learn how to overcome problems and solve it. Life is for us to learn, to feel and to enjoy, so do face your difficulties optimistically whenever there are challenges in your life. Always remember the say “There are no problems that can not be solve” and “Solutions always more than problems”.

Sometimes, i can not stop myself from questioning myself, is life a job? When we grow up from young, we all have our responsibilities to fulfill. As a child, we have to study well. As an adult, we have to support and take care our family members. In any stages of our life, we always have our responsibilities and works to do. I wish i could just stay relax and abandon all these works and responsibilities. However, it will not work. We are not just living for ourselves, it is for the sake of others as well. Life brings us duties and responsibilities, but this is all for us to be a better human being.

Life should be a balance of duties and enjoyment. Everyone should take their life as treasure and do no stress even we know that death is the only end for our life. In short, for me, the meaning of life is to enjoy, to help others to create a irreplaceable values. Lets leave no regret in our lives from now on, live for our own life. “One life, live it!”.

Lovely Seventeen (寂寞的十七岁)

Lovely seventeen are written Kenneth Hsien-yung Pai (白先勇). This book is talk about the main character, a boy that bring along some feminine characteristics. He has been bullying in school and scold by his parents because he cannot reach his parent’s expectations. In the end, he is suicide.

After I had read this book, I feel a deep thoughts and feeling. I think sometime everyone will feel lonely in our life, these lonely are in our heart and it will not be gone even when there are people with you. These lonely come from we cannot find someone that really know us, we cannot really share out our true self.

From this book, I also think that the society in reality like a game, as long as the rules in society are accepted and would not have anyone doubt it, we will take the rule as naturally. Actually, there are no rules but just move of the people are accept and follow, so for who are against these rules will deemed to become freak in society although they are no wrong. The society that form by the most human which is some opinion will assimilate or exclude these “freak”. The society in the story is according the concept that the boys are given expectation and get the best result to win other people, then this only is a successful people.

I am always think that is someone lend a helping hand to main character, is the ending of story will be change? Maybe if the society could more accepted the guy who have some feminine characteristics, the ending will be change.

Natsume Yūjin-chō

Natsume Yujin-cho also known as Natsume's Book of Friends in english. It is a Japanese manga series by Yuki Midorikawa. The story is about Natsume, an orphaned teenage boy who has the ability to see spirit. He getting this power from his grandmather, Reiko. Natsume had get a book that containing the name of spirit after her grandmother died. The book would let the Natsume contact the spirit and order them. However, Natsume try to release and give back the spirit their name. Beside, Madara, also call by Nyanko-sensei also become Natsume bodyguard. 
Some people say that this story is mainly to see interaction of Natsume and Nyako-sensei, but I more love to see the story of spirit. All the stories are about love, but the sadness is come with love between different races when they accompanied (human and spirit), this feeling is quite lovely, but also fragile. I feel that the book and the name are just an introduction, the main things from the story is about how the human and the spirit live together, the life is ordinary but bring out the feeling of sadness and happiness together.
Although the story is consisting many positive value such as helpful, love, thankful, and so on , but it is also shown some negative things behind the story. Human also afraid and try to removal something they are do not know and can’t control.  Reiko was no friends and always be bulling just because she can see the spirit. Other than that, human try to wipe out all the sprit without think the spirit is good or bad just because they are afraid something unknown(spirit).
What is human? There are good people, bad people, people who is inclusive Natsume, people who is cannot understand Natsume. Spirit also have good and bad. But most of them are very simple. However the spirit can live very long but is it sad when they do not know what they wanted because of the long life. It is also full of sadness when Natsume and Nyanko-sensei build up the deep relationship because the Natsume will died in future while Nyanko-sensei can life very long.
