Thoughts on life

in #blog7 years ago

To most, life is a beautiful thing, marred only by brief moments of intense pain and its inevitable end. In my humble opinion however, the pain life brings, and its inescapable ending are what make it so amazing. Were it not for pain, happiness would mean nothing; and were it not for death, life itself would mean nothing. Life is like a flower that blooms in spring only to wither away in the following months. Its beauty is fleeting and that is exactly what makes it so beautiful. I think the reason so many fall into the trap of contentment, is they forget to live life like it could be over at any moment. They forget to seize every opportunity presented, to strive every day for happiness... they forget to live. and I don't think there is anything more sad than someone dying when they have never really lived.
So if you're reading this, take a good look at your life and ask yourself, is this really where you want to be ? Is this really what you want to be doing with your life ? If you answered no to both of those questions, then you should definitely change that as soon as possible... because there is no telling how long you have left to do it.
