An Essay --"What is the meaning of life?" (At College)

Meaning of life : Living is Glory

 

   Everyone ask the same question : “ What is the meaning of life ? “  Life include material life and spiritual life.  Health include physical health and spiritual health. I think that there are three important value of life :  Faith, Family and  Forgiveness.

   Great faith can bring great positive attitude, compassion and love. Because everything have two sides: sunny side and black side. Faith makes us always look at the sunny side.

   Mother Teresa has great faith. She showed her compassion to thousands of Indian poor people, provided them food and medicines. What support her to do this? That is the great faith in her heart.

   Former south-Africa president Nelson Mandela has great faith. Great faith has great spirit power. He showed Bill Clinton the cell on  Robben Island, “ Where he had spent the first eighteen years of his twenty-seven years in captivity. ( P603, “ My Life”, Author: Bill clinton)

   An organization  is united by  faith. A family is united by faith. People can appply faith to daily life. Mr. Morrie applied his faith to his daily life. He got a master degree and a PH.D in University. When he got a serious disease, he also showed his positive attitude to the life.  When Mr. Morrie got sick, he still struggled for basic action for daily life. There is a great faith in his heart beyond the action.

   Family is important. Society is made up of family.  Family is the basic unit of society. “ if you don’t have the support and love  and caring  and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all. (p91, “ tuseday with Morrie”, Author : Mitch Albom)  Former america President Bill Clinton also think family important. In his book “ My life”, in the first page, he wrote, “this book is to my mother, who gave me a love of life, to Hillary, who gave me a life of love. To Chelsea, who taught me to look up to people others looked down on, because we’re not so different after all.” Mr. Morrie thought that he was happy because his family members are  around him when he was sick. A family with a baby is with huge joy.
