Everybody has the
same fate; the fate of the impending death. I won’t be that guy from the movie
2012 that holds a giant sign saying “the end is near”, but I believe death is a
very strong force in one’s life. Before this blog turns into a very cynical
one, I also think our lives are very precious and mortality itself is beautiful.
In “The Death of the Moth”, Woolf uses enticing rhetorical modes- description and narration- to bring attention the
period between life and death. The time that the moth is “dancing and
zigzagging” represents the period of time where humans are the most lively and “hot for humility”. I say that because
in our young adult phases, we avidly try to find new opportunities and try new
things. Sometimes we may find humiliates that come along with these actions,
such as failure, but from these humiliates we can learn new things
With the precious life we have been given, we must make the
best out of it. A pleasant life is peaceful one; a peaceful life is usually void of any violence. According to Gandhi, the key for peace is nonviolence.
He advocates how nonviolence is the way for world peace and how problems can be
solved without anybody getting harmed.
And now, here is a haiku
written by me:
Today I lie in bed
And think why bother
to live
For precious moments
From hereafter, I
will think of the livelihood of the people around me and so be it if death
falls upon me because you know what, I had my precious moments.
