Why is this? the reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as in our youth.And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignant, so unutterable, with such a bitter pain and joy, when we are young? This is :that being rich, we are so poor; that being mighty, we can get have nothing ; that seeing, breathing, smelling, tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth, feeling with an intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life--the most fortunate,we wealthy, good, and happy life that any man has ever known is our is ours at once, immediately and forever, the moment that we choose to take a step, or stretch a hand, or say a word .we yet know that we can really keep, hold, take, and possess forever nothing. All passes; nothing lasts: the moment that we put our hand upon it, it melts away like smoke, is gone forever, and the snake is eating at our heart again; we see then what we are and what our lives must come to. A young man is so strong, so mad, so certain, and so lost. he has everything and he is able to use nothing. He hurls the great shoulder of his strength forever against phantasmal barriers, he is a wave whose power explodes in lost middens under timeless skies, here-aches out to grip a fume of painted smoke, he wants all,feels the thirst and power for everything, and finally gets nothing. In the end, he is destroyed by his own strength, devoured by his own hunger, impoverished by his own wealth. Thoughtless of money or the accumulation of material possessions, he is none the less defeated in the end by his own greed that makes the avarice of King Midas Seem paltry by comparison And that is the reason why, when youth is gone, every man will look back upon that period of his life with infinite sorrow and regret. It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man who knows that once he had a great talent and wasted it, of a man who knows that once he had a great treasure and got nothing from it, of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything and never used it. Human is such a strange animal that when we mostly did not cherish something until we lost it. we have gained a lot of things, but also lost a lot. What we want is merely getting the peace of mind. We care for children because they are the most pure--minded and kind heart among human beings. we are fond of staying with the old, because we can sense their inner peace from their serene faces. Maybe for them ,the essence of life is to live it in the most comfortable way they deem. we may also love substantive sense of live. We are in strenuous effort in changing our fate. However, we soon realize it is by no means easy to achieve any of them. Perhaps, silence becomes the best solution to all difficulties and hardships. Why dower still bother to boast too much about it? We still need to get down to our business with our effort, then just try to smile and hold a positive a positive attitude towards your life every day!
