Jigsaw


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.
