Quote by Wise Owl
As we sail about our lives, conflicts arise as emotions are eradicated by sadness and anger. Fireworks of terror, love, and loss fill the once clear sky. And yet, humans are clueless to see what awaits them as they continue to wallow into self-pity. Each day means gaining new insight and developing maturity. Each day means making plentiful mistakes and befuddlement. Each day means falling in love and betraying others. Each day means one day closer to death. We want to continue living, yet we want to die. We want to love, yet we want to hate. We can say that humans are contrary.
Summary
This quote suggests that as we go through life, we inevitably encounter conflicts and experience a range of powerful emotions. The imagery of "fireworks" conveys the intensity and variety of these emotions, from terror to love to loss. However, the quote also highlights the contradiction within human nature – we often become consumed by self-pity and fail to grasp the possibilities and growth that each day brings. It points out that life is a continuous process of learning, making mistakes, and encountering mixed feelings, while also acknowledging our contradictory desires to both live and die, love and hate. In essence, it characterizes humans as complex and contradictory beings.
