We are all given an opportunity to experience life. But to do so we must first recognize what life is. It is not something passed on from our parents. It is not something told to us. It is not something taught in school.
Life is a unique experience that is molded and shaped by our own direction and determination.
What a pity it is to realize that so many go through their life experience never knowing what it is. Life extends well beyond simply existing. It is by facing its risks and challenges that we create our own experience. This statement suggests that recognizing and understanding the life experience is worth risking life itself. It is through these actions that we gain knowledge and without them, life is meaningless.
