Essence of Life

I have never really understood the lyric or statement someone says; "everyone has always told me how to live I was growing up". I think that reason why was because whenever someone told me what to do I would say screw you, I dont have to listen to you and I wont. That has always been my attitude.

After I figured that out I went back to that statement, "everybody has yold me how to live my life when I was a child" and randomly I ask, well when one is a child who is the person telling the child how to live life? An adult. Why are these people telling them how to live? I think its because basically it connects to "give the young wise words". Everyone has their own wise words, they have been through experiences and they have this idea they "know" how to live. Well I agree with that to a degree, we each know how to live our own life but do we necessarily know how to live some one elses? We may think we got life figured out but really we probably dont.

Now I know I am only 17 but i will soon be an adult and I asked myself. What woud I want to say to the world? You know what I think the best way to live life is for a kid to just figure it out for themselves. Thats how I did it. Thats how everyone else does it one way or another. The individual has to figure out for themself how to live life. Now would I say something? ya know what I probably would want to say something and I probably will but I dont know what that saying is yet. All I know is that I dont know what I would do without someone telling me about God. God is the most important part in my life and I think He will continue to be that and more thorughout my life and essenstially when I die and in my eternity.

I think if anything a child needs to know about that one thing would have to be God or something linked to God. Like hope or joy or even love. Not really the word "religion". You give a kid that! Oh boy! Do they got a pathway to go! There is thousands upon thousands "religions". Rather let them take a taste of the lifestyle of Christianity. I mean they are definately going to have a taste of reality. Whether its a death of someone close to them, poverty, or even abuse in the home.

Coming to the "Life" subject. Im not really sure if its about figuring out a worldwide explanation of life and meaning. We all have to figure that for ourselves. We cannot just live life based on what someone says. That meaning has gotta be real to the person accepting or else we end up with a common suicide. Sadly but truthfuly. I think that its moreso about just that. Living to find meaning.

My meaning? Well first hand God. He is my everything. But the thing that sets me apart is my desire of love and the arts. Those are my meanings of why I live life.
