The Spirit of Life and Happiness

     

The Spirit of Life & Happiness

                Emotions are like grass where it may have the possibility of progress and growth but as it grows it often starts to become forgotten. As mere emotions and happiness are things that we only pass by in which are only borrowed things from life itself and are things that we only pass over by and not completely own.

                Mono no aware may be described as "the pathos of things, the transience of life and happiness, or the empathy toward things." These are simply the literal definition of this word, but to put into my own perspective. Mono no aware is the exact definition that we must enjoy and make the most of what we have at this moment be thankful for it as such things are only given to us for a short and limited time in which will pass on and start to be forgotten like any other thing that exists on this world, such things may progress into something that we all possibly want or don't want but will often be forgotten as time and age pass by. We may describe the things in this world as something that is borrowed things that we must one day return and forget, as mere things are there only to give us such things as to inspire us to become someone better and to see the good and bad in life as things will allow us to be the best of ourselves and to enjoy everything that we have at the moment as such things will be forgotten and something that we all must leave behind and begin to start moving on, as such experiences are something that we cannot return to but rather are things that we can learn from.

                So in conclusion, mono no aware is trying to tell us that we must enjoy and make the best out of the things we currently have, as such things may have the possibility to grow or develop into something we want or don't want in which we are unable to return to and will often be forgotten as time and age passes by.
