What is the summary

of the will of the river

by alfredo gonzales?
UMMARY: The "Will of a River" by
Alfredo Q. Gonzales, talks about the life of
man on earth. The river is likened to a
person's life. Firstly, it shows that it is an
undeniable fact that there are many trials,
problems and difficulties that one
encounters in life. Sometimes these
circumstances are considered to be negative.
There are many hindrances and obstacles
that one faces in life. How are they dealt
with? The person must have patience and
endurance to hurdle testings and even
adversaries in life. There are those who
easily get dismayed and discouraged. They
surrender or even retreat, but there are those
who persevere and do not easily lose hope,
like the river.
Secondly, it also speaks of determination to
reach the goals of life. If we cannot
overcome the obstacles, we can under come
them as aptly expressed by the author. Have
the optimism to reach your goal and possess
an outlook in life not in pessimism but in
hope. You have that optimism to reach your
goal and your outlook in life must not be
one in pessimism but of hope. When we
experience hardships in life or when things
get rough, we must not quit. Just stick to the
fight.

One has to live his life faithfully and be a

blessing to others. This is why the river
exists. Without doubt this is the noble reason
for our existence on earth. You are not just
living for yourself but you live firstly for
God and for other people, as well. The
popular saying, "No man is an island"
suggests that you cannot live alone but you
need other people and they need you, too.
Whatever you possess (talents, abilities, or it
could even be riches) you have to share
them to other people. Be generous and not
selfish. You may comfort others, help those
who are in need and even be able to sacrifice
for the sake of other people. This could be
the meaning of life. If nature, like the river,
which we consider devoid of feelings or
emotions, fulfills its duty rightfully, how
much more for man who was created by
God in His own image with emotions, will,
and intellect? One must consider his
responsibility to others and must solemnly
see the need to care and have compassion
for others.
With reverence, man must recognize the fact
that the things he possesses in life comes
from God. His life comes from the creator.
He draws his strength from God. The things
that he shares with others are gifts or
blessings from the Lord. He lives by the
grace of the Almighty God. And the same
grace he must show to others. He can do
nothing without God in his life. All his

achievements, his victories, his possessions

are attained or obtained because of God.
What he is and what he has is all because of
Him.
Like a mountain, where the river draws its
power from to be able to carry on, man has
God. Like a mountain, big and high, God,
the Omnipotent is the source of all, the
source of strength, hope, and the courage of
man to go on with and stick to his fight.
Only that man has neither to trust and
believe that God will enable him to move on
and will help him, never to desert nor to
forsake.
