In the day to day struggles for so many just to survive, getting lost on the treadmill of working, eating, and sleeping. Maybe spend time with family and friends, occasionally smile, say hello, complain, watch TV, laugh, sing, think or avoid thinking, travel or stay at home, feel lonely, sometimes happy, sometimes depressed, a full array of emotions or empty and complacent, reflect on the past, anticipate the future, live fully in the present or too often linger in the past, feel alive or indifferent, expand your knowledge and wisdom or live in the shadowy fog of ignorance. No matter the experiences and circumstances we live, eventually we all die, so what's the point?
It's easy to surrender and forget about the joyous innocence of youth. Life is truly what you make it, why not make it good? No one knows for sure what happens after death, and if you could live forever you would loose any sense of purpose and meaning. Having a limited time on this earth enables you to develop incentives to accomplish goals and create something of value. Everyone leaves something behind, whether it is a book, a song, a building, personal items, or even if only a warm memory in someones heart. So what is the point?
Life is the point and the meaning you give it. You can and do choose how to live, whether in misery or joy, anger or acceptance, reacting negatively or responding with good intentions, cowardice or bravery, sloth or temperance, sin or virtue, and so on. Life truly is a journey of endless possibilities. Moment by moment you choose how to feel, and real happiness can only come from within your soul. Choose well by living life to it's fullest each and every moment of every day, because some day it will be your last. That's the point! (Now if I could only follow my own advice.)
