Reflection on life

     What’s life and what should we do in our whole lives? It has being a question down the ages. Just several days ago, a friend younger than me told me he was wondering what life was and did not know the goal of life.

    His question also re-taught me something about life. In the past few days, I am always trying my best to forget something, because I think it is an effective way to keep enthusiasm¹ for life. Maybe there are some persons and some things that we think we can never forget but one day we finally find they are no longer in our memory.

    In my opinion, life is just akin² to a train. There are always some people coming and some people leaving. We have no idea when they will come and when they will go. Some persons promised they would stay with us to the end and we should know there is a chance that they may leave with no auspice. Confronted³ with this fact what should we do? Perhaps we will be sad but that is not what we should do. No matter what we do he or she won’t come back. What we should do is to be happier and do what we should do.

    I once read an article about life and it says that life is just like dramatic⁴. I also agree with it. In fact we are always playing a character of the dramatic. In the dramatic of life no one can experience it with himself. In our own life we should be the leading role of ourselves.

    The idea of it varies⁵ form one person to another. For different persons, it has different meanings. But what we know is that life is very short and we should hold fast to it, treasure what we have and forget what does not belong to us. Only by this way, can we live a wonderful life.
