A celebration of significant relationships with loved ones and reflecting upon fond experiences allow the persona to transcend the fleeting nature of life’s cycle. Harwood utilises the raw and confronting concern of death and loss to emphasise the importance of living expressively and relishing the moment.…

How should we respect our parents and what they tell us, because our elders know the journey of life better than we know it. If they tell us that respect can open doors for us, it is what it is, we just have to obey and have faith and also work har to earn all of thar.…
