Dr. Seuss once said “Don't
cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” I think that those are such strong and wise
words and that we should apply them to our lives. I think that everything
happens for a reason and I think that Dr. Seuss is implying that whatever
happens to us is only going to make us stronger as a person. I also think that
people shouldn’t cry or be sad because something ended as he said like a
relationship or a movie, a life, etc. That’s just how life is, and the best
thing we can do is keep moving forward, because life isn’t going to stop and
give you time, it’s going to keep going and maybe even faster than ever. We
should be able to use those experiences to learn, or become a stronger person. We
should just “Smile because it happened,” because the more life throws at us the
more we are able to overcome the obstacles or challenges that are given.
Keep moving forward and “forgive and forget” as my close friend always
says, because if you don’t let things g, you’re going to be stuck in the past
while everyone just moves right past you.
And I think that that quote really goes well with Dr. Seuss’s quote.
Another reason to smile because it happened is because once it happened, it
happened! This means there’s no going back and whatever happened you just got
it over with! For example, many people cry over there relationships, because
the boyfriend/girlfriend cheated or dumped them. But wouldn’t it better that
you knew that your partner cheated and that you are no longer with someone you
can’t trust? Sure it’ll hurt for a while, but there will always be someone
better out there. Just because something happened in the past, doesn’t mean we
should dwell on it. We just have to keep our head held high and keep moving forward
with a smile on our faces. That way we’ll be unstoppable, and we’ll be able to
overcome anything that life throws at us. And it even takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown(:
I agree with everything you said , I do beleive that every experiance should be cherished whether it be good or bad . It should never own up to Regrets since all things should be worth living and worth experiancing . From the heartaches to the amazing joy of love .
ReplyDeleteEven though this quote is hard to live by, it’s so true. Looking back on the good times is easy to do, especially if you are encountering some turbulence in your life. But as you said, we shouldn’t dwell on the past we should just keep going, no matter how bitter or sad it’ll be. Instead of focusing on the old memories we should be making new ones that will make us “smile because it happened.”
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that I agree everything we go through does make us a stronger person. Dr.Suess was a very strong man to say that because many people just sulk in the mishappenings of life, when we should truly be celebrating as odd as it sounds. When you celebrate the things that go wrong you are eliminating all negative energy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple quote, yet it has a such powerful meaning. The only negative thing about it, is that your analysis sounds cliche :D! I did like how you also used other quotes to analyze it though. And I love how it feels very personal...as if you're talking to me.
ReplyDeleteThis quote is one of my favorites, its very simple but sends a really powerful message. We should cherish every emory whether it is good or bad. Life is too short for us live off of painful memories and become bitter because of them. I fully agree with your response.
