Have you ever thought about this?In just 100 years like in 2123, we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.
Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to obtain and build our families in, and they will own everything we have today that still is.
All our possessions and kin to be, will be unknown and unborn. Including the car we spent a fortune and time consuming payments on, that will probably be scrap, recycled or rusted away. And at best hopes, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.
Our descendants will hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us… How many of us alive right now know our grandfather’s father?
After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone’s bookshelf. And a few years later on, our history, photos and lifetime of love, experiences, deeds… disappear in history’s oblivion.
We won’t even be memories to anyone alive then.
If we paused one day to analyze these truths and questions, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all was.
If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.
Always having more, no time for what’s really valuable in this life.
I’d change all this to live and enjoy the walks I’ve never taken, the hugs I didn’t give, the kisses for our children and our loved ones, the jokes we didn’t have time for.
Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.
And yet some of us waste it all day after day, with greed, selfishness and intolerance.
Every minute of life is priceless and will never be repeated, so take time to enjoy it as much as possible! It is yours now and only now!
Be grateful for, and celebrate your existence. You’ll only have it for a little while.
Until next time…
