There are two things in life that one must understand in order to survive: First, it is better to give than to receive. Second, you can't save people, you just have to learn to love them. Life is a beautiful horror film that we live every day. Over time, we humans learn things we never knew and forget things we once understood. We have this tendency to want to take control of EVERY situation, and sometimes ignore the fact that some things are completely out of our control. It is said that as we age we also gain wisdom, and while this is true, it is only true to a certain extent.

In “The Writer” by Richard Wilbur, we can understand what the real struggle of life is: watching the one you love suffer and standing by.

This evil power that we are talking about is the power that life possesses. Richard Wilbur's "The Writer" is a great example of what happens when life runs its course, is forgotten, and wins the race after tying your hands behind your back. Life plays dirty and as a result, some situations are beyond our control, but the important thing is to never forget, because then to remember you have to have a rude awakening. As “The Writer” shows, the only way to survive this charade of life is simply to love, because you cannot save. So it's up to you to realize, remember and try not to unconsciously write the end of your story.…
