A Photo with Special Effects
Life contains an abundance of influences, some positive while some not. It is often unpredictable and surprising. In life, people experience breathtaking moments if they are fast enough to capture them. At the same time, they often try to hide themselves behind curtains of perfection. By changing aspects in life, you can actually get a better shot at it. Ipso facto, life is taking a photo with special effects.
When taking a photo, you don’t always get a flawless shot right away. You have to stoop down, tilt a bit, and change your perspective. You can’t stubbornly stand where you are and expect your photo to be the way you imagined it to be. Likewise, sometimes you must adjust your viewpoint of an activity in order to learn something new, such as karate.

As she helped me understand the difficult problem, I realized that Dhara was not who she had seemed to be at first. All along she had just been hiding behind her “special effects.” On the inside, she was actually a kind person that was willing to help a friend. As we came to know each other more and more over the years, she became my best friend.
True photo or not, a perfect photo moment can be lost in an instant. One second it is there, the next second it disappeared. While trying to finding the best angle, zooming in, beautifying the quality, the photo can be lost in a blink. The only element that genuinely matters is the end product – if you are nimble enough to catch it. By simply making one mistake, you can lose something you have carefully aimed towards.
Regardless that I had studied nonstop for months, I was unable to achieve something I could have easily won: my 3rd grade spelling bee, all because of an extent of nervous energy.
I nervously tapped my foot, thinking of nothing other than the hour I had prepared for ages. My eyes were glued on the clock. Suddenly, the loudspeaker crackled

    A Human Experience Analysis

    • 11 Pages

    Part of your most recent plan was to be here now, you chose this human existence that you are currently experiencing, you pre- planned every detail of your life in order to gain the maximum learning and adventure, and you choose to exit when you have completed all the experiences you planned for yourself. The world away from this world (the universe) is not separate from us, it is not some far away mystery; it is a logical, functioning, populated, progressive, divine place! Much like here on earth (without all the stuff), except here on earth we have temporarily forgotten the divine and infinite bits of ourselves! If I can be a bit honest here, as humans we have become self-obsessed, self-absorbed and rather blinded by our own self-importance.…
