Life is Precious

 Life can be compared to a flower. Life is expensive and valuable, there are times we are just wasting our life with those stupid things. There are times, we forget how valuable our life is, in every second you waste, the precious petal of yours fall and wither. There are times also we forgot to water ourselves, with experience, understanding,and faith. The time you shriveled, you forgot who you are, in every petals that is important to you will disappear in no time.

 

No matter how we try, if deep within you is feeling tired. Life was just a dream that was full of beautiful petals. The petals of you which makes you a better person, and good man. Being a flower doesn't mean that every piece of you is beautiful. Judging the physical appearance of flower doesn't define the true capability, ability of being you. You may not that valuable flower, but you are being you. You may have the thorns which protects from you from the criticism from the society. People may not find you beautiful, but someday they will realize that the flower they've stomped and torn into pieces is more useful than the pricey one. 

There are lots of differences, racial discrimination may occur in our life. We must not forget that maybe it's not your time. You may bloom in your perfect time, and everyone wants to own you. There ups and down, dry seasons, but don't forget to water yourself with lessons, experiences, and faith. Always stay on the fermented land of peace, harmony, and love. Don't dream to be bird, dream on something like a flower. who always stay on the ground of humbleness and pride.
