Life is indeed, so short. And oddly enough, it is much shorter for those whose lives they find meaningful while it is too long for those whose lives they find meaningless.
Couldn’t it be that life is what meaning we put into it?
Now and then, I also ask what meaning has my life really. Often, I feel like I know but at other times, my thinking looks like a useless mental exercise. Life is just so vast, so full of mysteries that before I can put meaning to my life, part of it is gone and the meaning I try putting on it is already partly exhausted.
Life, so it seems, is like dry sand slipping through my fingers. When I try to hold on to it very tightly, as if squeezing it, it slips away faster. But when I try to cast it away, it sticks on my hands. Sometimes, I think, to appreciate life best, one has neither to hold on to it tightly nor to let it go so carelessly. The sand in the hourglass is life. It is better to let it flow freely, although not carelessly.
How we take life is often dictated by what priorities we have. And life, being so vast, offers everything which can be a priority to us. A student even so eager to get out of poverty would say “life will be meaningless if I don’t finish my studies.” A terribly-in-love woman would say, “should I lose him now, life will be meaningless to me.” And an alcoholic, trembling with the urge to drink, would be ready to give everything he has, even his dignity, for a bottle of liquor. Then, there is this young ambitious businessman whose desperately wants to make his first million seems to matter.
Life is precious indeed, full of colors, full of happiness and also sadness. We people handle our life in different manner. We have different emotions as we meet different situations. Keep this in mind, life is just very short. People haven’t thought of the damage they impact on themselves momentarily as they go into cigarette smoking, drug addictions, excessive drinking and many vices to mention. Without realizing that the more they enjoy those vices the more they are making their lives shorter. Indeed it’s true; we enjoy those stuff without ourself realizing that we are out of sanity, making our own destruction. Yes, I know we enjoy life but we don’t think that because of too much enjoyment we are most likely killing ourselves early. I know we don’t want that to happen. Eiz, may I ask you, who wants to die earlier? I know your answer will definitely be No, right?
Hello! People, you must wake up from you deepsleep. When are you going to change unwealthy way of living? Until the time has come for you, that will be slept in drugs and never again to wake up from that deepsleep?
Life… life is very important. But, the question is, do we gave a damn on it? How do we handle life? These are the questions that bother us. Yes, it’s important, but why are we abusing life? Why do we have to let it go to the wrong track and then destroy it totally? Is this how we care about the life we have? Hello!, wake up. Try to think again; look around you and observe the people that surround you. After that, observe yourself and how you differ from others. And try to evaluate.
