(REFLECTION) Silas Marner The story Silas Marner was very inspiring.....
It reminds me about three things to be considered in life....
FORGIVENESS, ACCEPTANCE, and LOVE......
whatever shortcomings and sorrows we have.
As what the quotation says, "The soul would have no rainbow,
had the eyes no tears.."
REFLECTION ( The Chambered Nautilus)
In the poem, "The Chambered Nautilus", Holmes compared the mollusk and its shell to the behavior of human beings. We are the sailor of our own life and as the time goes by, our life is changing, and some common things we used to do are not useful to us anymore. As we grow, we see more better things than before and it taught us that in this world nothing is permanent except change......
REFLECTION ( The Paradise Lost)
The story Paradise Lost, showed me that temptation and disobedience to God will really destroy a man.....
As what the Bible says, "sin is the transgressions of the law" and "the wages of sin is death..."
"God shall bring every work to judgment, with every secret, whether it be good, or evil.." Ecclesiastes 12:14.
We cant deny the fact that, woman is the biggest temptation and weakens even the strongest man......
Adam ate the forbidden fruit, although he knew that it was forbid by God, for the fear that he will lost Eve.
Our life was surrounded a lot of temptations. Temptations are natural. They're part of life, they only become a sin if we give in.... It was human nature that if what is forbidden, man become curios and keep on wanting to do what is forbid.....
God's guidance depends upon our personal acquaintance with him. It is not enough to know about him. When we know him as "our God" and accept his plans for our lives, then we have the blessed assurance that he will guide us even " through the valley of the shadow of death."
So, we should depend upon God, that our lives may be the simple outworking of his will. As we commit our ways to him, he will direct our steps.
God is love, for God give us freedom of choice and test our loyalty to him, whether we will take the Godly path, or the evil path...
REFLECTION ( I wandered lonely as a cloud)
I wandered lonely as a cloud, by William Wordsworth, this poem is focused more in nature. For me, the poet was reminiscing the beauty of the golden daffodils, beside the lake, beneath the trees.
A millionaire and a poor man alike have the opportunity to enjoy a sunset, beautiful scenes in nature, the thrill of growing plants and the loveliness of the night. Men in all ages have enjoyed beauty in nature, and unless we learn to get the fullest enjoyment from this source, we are missing one of the important sources of happiness.
