With a
little introduction. ‘Desiderata”, w/c translates from the Latin word ‘things
to be desired’ is a poem by the American writer Max Ehrmann in 1927.
"Desiderata" seems to all appeal. The poor and the rich, everyone seem to love the poem. Maybe because "Desiderata" gives many different ways to live a positive life. Getting through life circumstances is one hard challenge for each and everyone of us. And in the poem "Desiderata", its message is how to deal with problems and circumstances in our life. Being a better person is another message of the poem. After reading the poem for several times, I've had an idea on how to deal with myself and to others. In the poem, we are talking about a real life story. You could get some ideas on the poem that you can apply and use it to have an enjoyable and happy life. And a happy life is what everybody wants, a life free from problems and constraints.
"Avoid loud and aggressive partners, they are vexations to the spirit" - this is a very good line of the poem. By doing these, people like me tend to be more calm and peaceful. With people who are noisy and aggressive, we easily lose focus and get distracted on what we are doing. In life, focus is a very important key in pursuing our goals in life. "If you compare yourself to others, you will become vain and bitter" - this is my favorite part of the poem. It is important to appreciate life. People should not compete with others. Trying to compete with others will just make life harder for yourself. You will never have acceptance in yourself and it is possible to gain enemies by comparing yourself to others.
And last but not the least is to be at peace with God for it is the most important of all. God is the reason for everything and it is essential to love Him than everything else in the world. Because with God, nothing can stop you in pursuing your dreams and peace will reign in your heart.
This poem "Desiderata" is one of the greatest poems I've ever read for it appeals in every angles of our life. It is important to keep it in mind and in our hearts and apply it in our everyday life for us to have a peaceful and happy life.
