The main message I took from Dylan Thomas' poem, Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, was to live life to the fullest. "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" (Thomas, 968) says it all. "do not go gentle" means that we should not let our lives end not having pushed limits. We should all set out to achieve our personal goals and ambitions. We must not go "gentle" in terms of leaving any rocks unturned in our lives.
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light" (Thomas, 968). This quote explains that we need to rage against and fight against the ending of our lives. We must never give up, even if we know or fear the end is approaching. The dying of the light symbolizes the end coming shortly. Thomas writes that we much not wholly accept this fact. We must push through pain in order that we leave this world having accomplished our dreams. The narrator stresses that living life to the fullest will promise having no regrets. This can only be reached by taking every moment as a gift and a way to create a more fulfilling life for oneself.
