Do you know the feeling, that when life hits you so hard, you just feel like bursting out crying bloody tears, just because. Whenever anything happens, it always seems like the worst thing thats ever happened to a human being. It's always ourselves that we see as having the worst of luck. Like God doesn't care nor love us anymore that He's giving us so many trials and tribulations in life, instead of bestowing us with heavenly bliss. However so, that isn't the case. Would we consider a lover who does not care about whatever the hell we do and just be there for the sake of being, or would it be better to have someone who gives us the gift of memories? I would say the latter is always better.
To what extent do we think the world revolves around just us, just me, that it would cause us to become so sensitive to the slightest human reaction? At what point in life do we start to realize that there's always something out there that's worst than what we are going through, there's always someone who is going through something so bad, that it's unimaginable for us to even think of, who somehow still manages to find contentment in the tiniest form of happiness. Why can't we? To me, the key, is sharing.
All the feelings we go through in life, the tears we shed in multiple events, whether it was the lost of a father, or a lover, or whether it was the best results in school we ever had, the first words or first steps our baby makes, those tears that flows out just because we feel our hearts were tightly squeezed by an imaginary clam, known as sincerity, those are what changes us..I've been blessed to have been born in this world, in this era, where there is a person who has the ability to actually teach so much that i could have never imagined learning, without actually going through the experience myself. OPRAH WINFREY. Her show has done so much for the sake of humanity that is has changed so many lives for the past 25 seasons.
Having lived 23 years of life, i'd say i totally agree with the saying, experience is always the best teacher. Through Oprah, I've experienced feelings that I'd never have in such a short life. I'm but a bud of rose yet to fully bloom as a flower in spring. Surviving the battle for sunlight is what i've learned after seeing how every other flower is tilting and growing towards where there isn't shade. To me, growing maturity means to wander into the world outside of the comfort zone, learning from the experience of not just ourselves, but also through others'. It doesn't have to involve physical wandering, it's the soul that needs the experience. Learning to adapt and survive, enjoying every moment of it along the way, that's life. The Oprah Show has allowed all this to happen, all in the comfort of a couch at home.
Oprah has triggered so many emotions, taught so many lessons, helped so many people, that I feel it has made life so much more meaningful for a whole lot of people. Spread the love, spread the experience, feel what others are feeling, make a stranger feel like family, make the world a healthier and more comfortable environment, be bold and care, for not just yourself, not just your family, but everyone around you, those are among the morals of The Oprah Show.
Why the sudden thought of writing this article? I had just finished watching the show, the farewell season with Nate Berkus graduating the show. I realized how throughout the years, how Nate has been a part of the show and changing all those lives. And seeing those crying faces, even crying myself, made me realize how Oprah has inspired a whole lot of people to bring joy to the world..Like Nate, the Cutie Pie, a lot of other people have been inspired to either just spread a little of their happiness or just to try to be happier themselves. Has anyone ever tried smiling to a perfect stranger? regardless of whether or not he or she smiles back, or thinks it's crazy, the feeling is remarkable. Fighting against your own pride is an achievement worth the time.
The tears of joy, and pain, that we see flowing from the eyes of a stranger, has the power of sincerity, which brings out the true feelings in our heart. Whenever they share their happiness, or sorrows, an imaginary bridge is formed, the burden they carry on their shoulders are spreaded out to those listening. And just like leaves containing the dews in the morning, that bends to pour of once its just to heavy a load, that burden they feel, fills our hearts and melts into tears, making the weight a little lighter for them to bear. Even if it is just a moment, it is surely a memorable one. And that moment of happiness, knowing that somewhere in the world, someone knows and cares, that will help them through whatever might come in the future. That is the true power of sharing.
Thank You Oprah, for everything you've spread, for all the true strength of human that you've helped us realize, for the experience of joy and sorrow we have shared, for being that special stranger who changed our lives, for making us join in emotions and maturing in heart, and for helping us realize the meaning of life. Thank you for all your efforts, and thak you for just being you and letting us have you in our lives. May you also be blessed with all that you have given.
