The Gift

The Gift


If you were to ask what the greatest gift that they have received was, you'd not only hear many different answers but you would also hear answers that all involves money. Most people place quite a bit of importance on money. It comes with great sorrow to say that most people attach an extreme value to money. They gather up junk they don’t need and are constantly wishing to buy the latest and greatest thing displayed in ads all over the internet and television. When they see commercials for movies they just have to go see them. Often people buy what someone else has, which indicates that they envy the other person’s possessions. No one is complete without their cars and their brand new electronics. Look at the high end phones, for example. Apple and Google constantly release new models every year, advertising new features that pressures people to buy new phones. Wherever we look, society makes it clear that the gift in life is to have money. However, everything society teaches us is wrong. Make no mistake, the world does want to kill you and keep you away from the real gift.


The Gift: What Is It?


The gift I believe is two things that are connected to each other as a whole. The gift consists of life and love. Without love, there can be no life. Consequentially, when we give and receive love we experience life in its true wonder. Life is always greater when we feel loved and love somebody. I could have all the power in the world and control this planet all on my own but I still would not be happy as long as I don’t have love. To live you need love.

We are given a chance to live on this planet and are given so many years to find happiness. For most sound minded people love brings them great happiness. Also, on the other hand, people without love are completely depressed. This is not a matter of opinion or philosophy: people have the need to be loved and love someone. Without love people can die early, from either shortened lifespan or disease and suicide. When we don’t feel loved we tend to become stressed which adds to their body’s demise.


Life: Why We Were Given A Chance


No one knows for sure why we exist. The only rational theory is that earth supports life through its natural oxygen and water, making it a place of natural life, both animal and human. We do not know exactly how or why life occured on this planet but we do acknowledge our own existence. I have searched for my proof of existence for a decade, and I'm not sure I may ever find it. However, I do know everyone wants to be loved. In even a person's darkest days they still yearn for that gentle touch that comes only from love. Do not be afraid to live this life and love: you don’t know for sure that you’ll ever get a second chance.


Love: The Ultimate Stage Of Life


Your life will begin and end with love. We came here in search of love as life is utterly useless without love. Take the chance to search for love: without it you’ll grow cold. Love your family, love your friends, love your partner, love humanity, and never stop loving. Those who love someone or many will fight tenfold as strong as those without someone to love. Loving one another is the pinnacle in our lives. Stay strong, and love with every ounce of your being. Without love we’d be dead.
