Into the Woods #1

As I thought about all the proverbs that were involved in the play, they all had deep meanings that I never really thought about. Some of the Proverbs that I decided to think about and also write about were, "Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor" and also "The mouth of the wolf’s not the end of the world".

The first Proverb, "opportunity is not a lengthy visitor", is meaning in my own words that, we all have opportunities come before our lives, some of us decide not to pursue those opportunities or just wait for a more "convenient" time. As we wait or don't even pursue them those opportunities pass right on by and we miss the "opportunity" to experience something new. I can apply this proverb to life cause it happens on a daily basis to me in my own life. I experience many different opportunities, and at times I don't even try and acknowledge those opportunities and I miss something new that could impact my life for the good. As I try to revert back to that opportunity it doesn't happen cause my life is always experiencing new changes and opportunities. So the opportunity that I  looked pass and did not pursue does not constantly stay within my reach to grab whenever I want. I believe for this specific proverb, the truth of it can't break down, but that doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing. It just means that you missed out on that opportunity cause it does not just wait around for your time. But we always experience different opportunities, so opportunities mean more experience. We need to take advantage of every opportunity that comes before us and not let it pass on by.

The second Proverb, "The mouth of the wolf’s not the end of the world", is meaning that whenever we come before a challenge or what I like to refer as a bump in the road, does not mean that we should give up and throw in the towel. When I say throw in the towel I refer to just calling it and thinking the end of the world is happening. We can all relay this to life in general because as we go through life we experience hard times, such as; deaths, divorces, heartache etc and we just think the world is falling down all around us, but we tend to get through the hard times and great things happen. the hard times represent the mouth of the wolf and sometimes it fills like the mouth is just clamped down way to tight around us and we can't breath and just fill like giving up, but we can always have to strength to overcome it and pry open that mouth or affliction that we are facing at the time. I fill like this proverb can't break down because there is always a way out. we all have the ability to overcome whatever we are facing, but the sad part about it is that a good part of us just give up and act like its the end of the world. But in all reality we can come out on top and have a greater time experiencing the world.
