Life
Many great minds have pondered one mighty, unconquerable question: "What is the meaning of life?" As I sat outside with my hypothetical thinking cap on, I suddenly realized I had sat out during the perfect time. As the sun sets in front of my eyes, I now could say I have solved the mystery of life. The thirty minutes I spent outside summed up life. First it was sunny; the sun's rays beamed with the spirit of hope, happiness, and productivity. Then, as the sun began to set, there was a dim moment where it seemed as if all the beauties of life were slipping away from my fingertips. And as I sat there, the darkness began to suck all the light away from the Earth. Suddenly what was a pretty, budding flower was hidden under the great shade. We all have that one moment in life to take advantage of, take risks, make mistakes, laugh, run from responsibilities, enjoy yourself, fall in love, live life. For the time will come when you look back and realize your life is entering a downhill slope and you wonder if you lived it to its potential. That moment when you realize everything is slipping away because of the sun setting is a moment you want to be proud of, not one you regret. That is the meaning of life. Do not simply let the moments of brightness and endless possibilities slip away until you reach the time in your life where you question yourself. Live. Do something so crazy if you tell your grandkids, they will think you are the coolest person they have ever met. Sit outside and take a breathe of fresh air, it will do wonders for you.

The comparison between life and nature was brilliant! The juxtaposition between the light and dark, and old and young is understandably philosophical. Although I do not think that the darkness takes over the beauty life has to offer. Darkness itself is also a beautiful thing. Overall, awesome blog post, Nareg!
ReplyDeleteThis blog can make one think long and hard about life. The comparison between the sun rays and hope was wonderful, Nareg. It shows how deep one can think about life simply by sitting outside for thirty minutes. Although the part darkness sucking away light was amazing, I do not think darkness sucks away the beauty of life. Darkness and Life both have amazing parts to offer and like Ellen said in the comment above, darkness does not take over the beauty of life. Other than that, wonderful job Nareg,
ReplyDeleteNareg's blog is different and very opening. The connection between living your life to its fullest and nature was great. The main idea where life was represented by the beautiful rays of the sun setting was very clever. Everyone knows that the downward slope will slowly take place in their lives, but no one actually knows when that is going to happen. Everyone should live their life to the fullest and experience as much as possible. Great job making the connections Nareg!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that somebody has finally realized how wonderful life could be and solved the mystery of it. Life is meant to be enjoyed and lived to the fullest. Let’s not be the one who to find ourselves at the end of our days and realize that we have not lived.
ReplyDeleteNareg's views on life are quite interesting. I love the connection made between the sun's rays and hope. It shows that everyday the sun shines there is another opportunity for one to soar! However, when that sun sets the story is not finished; it is only the start to a new page.
ReplyDeleteWhile I was reading Nareg's blog post, I was imagining every word that he was describing to his readers. The description of the scenery which his eyes were experiencing seemed beautiful and got me thinking about life and its importance. I realized the correlation with the sun setting and opportunities slipping away. Life is too short to sit back and watch hopes and dreams fade away. People need to take action of their lives! Fantastic post Nareg!
ReplyDeleteThe ingenious of this blog is beyond mesmerizing. Nareg's humility is beyond appreciated. After posing the question, "what is the meaning of life?" Nareg immediately states that there is no real answer. Life is such a beautiful phenomenon that in most cases is not open for interpretation. Every individual has lived different lives, and no two people are ever exactly the same. Life is different to everyone, but as Nareg mentioned that connection with nature facilitates some sort of understanding of beyond complex occurrence. Well done, Nareg Bouldouk Mardigian.
