Life is the confluence of memories. Is it right? Philosophers are of the view that life is a leap into the darkroom. But this leap itself is the magic of the nature which helps the man to live as a man. Memories are different -sweet and bitter ones. All these are the part of life. A man will remember more about his sweet memories. ‘Life is a paradise. But we don’t see it, because we have tied them together’ says Dostoevsky. There is some truth in the saying that ‘no need of a mirror if the friend is trustworthy.’ It is a boon to have a friend whom we can speak out our mind. Good friendship is a solution to almost all problems faced my man in recent times. But this friendship itself is the cause of several problems. Choosing your friend should be done with utmost care. People may approach us with certain vested interests. Their intention may be selfishness, or time pass. Chose the friends whose attitudes and interests are almost same as that of yours, otherwise it may lead to disputes and differences.
A man’s life can be compared with that of three animals and a plant. First of all we are like a cat. It will be cared and loved by everyone. This is the age of childhood. There is love, care, and consideration. Life will be like that of a king. The second phase of life is like that of a horse. By overcoming all the hurdles it rushes to its destination. The third animal is donkey. It always carries the weight- the burden. It is the painful phase of life. It is also known as the middle age. Lastly our life can be compared to a parasite. It has no existence of its own. It is depended on others. This is old age.
Only the good memories and cordial friendships are the things which we can keep in this small life.
