Aristotle

This poem was very interesting and I liked it a lot. I believe it was about life and the stages that we as human beings go through that determine who we each are as an individual. It made sense about the very first beginning of life being so easy and a breeze. I compare that part to childhood, when we are young and don't even know what the word "complicated" means. When the worst thing we've witnessed is getting a bruise on the knee or something minor like that. Then as the poem goes along it reminds me of our early teenage years when the "boys" get in the picture and the "best friend" term comes up. After that we get in our late teens which in my opinion is when life begins to become a little more challenging because you may lose friends and gain different ones , or college comes up and people have to end up paying tuition. That point in life is when things become a bit more complicated. In our early adulthood to me is the most challenging stage of life because of the fact that we leave home in search for our own ways and that's when life gets real, because you begin taking care of yourself, paying your bills , having to get a job and make more responsible decisions. Once we reach late adulthood, like senior citizen age range is when life gets easier again. People retire and realize all the hard work they have done pays off and they just do as they please, spoiling grandchildren or just taking up a hobby. That explanation on life is what I believe the poem was saying. It gets easy at first, then there's going to be some struggle but once we overcome that struggle we can relax and that's when we realize who we really are, because life has brought us a ling way and shaped us they way we are supposed to be!
