Death

Death to me is when you die you go to a different life in a different place not necessarily heaven or hell. But a different world. I think that the dead can comeback to visit the living and watch over them like ghost, like in "Our Town". "The dead are always looking down on us"(Collins).  Life and death are two very different things as shown in"Life and Death" Life is very happy and bright. You are always surrounded by people who are happy to be alive.(Klimt)  Death is a dark thing. When you die you are alone. You can be alone staring at a rain filled window and hear a fly buzzing around and those will be the last things you  see and hear in your life. (Dickinson) When I die I want to be surrounded by loved ones.

Love and Marriage

Love to me is being with a person that you can truly be yourself with. This person should make you happy and you enjoy spending time with. When I see a person I love a smile just hits my face. When they laugh I laugh and that's just the way love is. Love is one of the most confusing things in the world but yet it still makes the most sense. Some people believe say that's there is no such thing as true love, but if their is no such thing  then how come people still continue to find it. Yes sometimes people won't find their true love but that doesn't mean their is no such thing. People can make the argument over the necessity of true love  "Perfectly good childrem are born without its help."(Szymborzka) Just because everyone doesn't need it does not mean it's not nessicary. Love is a very intimate thing as seen in Klimt's painting. The man and the women end up blending into one person. In "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder they talk about how in life you go in pairs and I absolutely believe that is true.

Happiness is defined by websites dictionary as "the quality or state of being happy." I define happiness is just enjoying the moment that is given to you. I find happiness in many things; kicking a soccer ball on a warm spring day, going for a swim in the summer, having a nice meal with my family. Happiness as Pico Iyer states, "happiness, like peace or passion, comes most when it is not pursued." When we aren't looking to find happiness, happiness always seems to find its way to us. To be happy we must be able to live in the moment. Simon Critchly puts it very simply, "time is nothing but the experience or the present through which one passes without hurry, but without regret." We must be able to live in the moment we are in.  Happiness is just being able to enjoy the moment that you are in.
