I have been thinking that I was born a certain number of years ago, I have lived my life and have experienced up to this point whatever I have experienced from my own unique perspective, and that in a few short years from now (perhaps in the next few minutes, who knows?), I will be dead. I will be dead and gone forever, and everything that ever went into making me what I am will also be gone, forever. I can take nothing with me. My house, my money, my car, my books (all of my material stuff, that is), won't matter in the least (which naturally begs the question of how much they should matter now, but let me not digress too much). In short, I have been wondering what it is all about (the "it" being life) when it's a known fact that it will eventually end, as it will end for everyone who now lives, has ever lived, will ever live (what, I'm going to be that one human being in all of history who magically escapes the clutches of death because he worked out a bit, watched his diet and never smoked a cigarette?). So, that being the case, the fact that we are all living on borrowed time and that life isn't fair, how should we conduct ourselves (assuming that that question even merits asking)? I don't know the answer and I suspect no one ever will (philosophers have been trying for centuries as the human mind remains a mystery unto itself), but what I do know, from my own personal experience, is that I'm not going to take things personally anymore (much easier said than done), I will try not to make assumptions or judgments about others (now that is tough to do) and I will always do my best. Like the song says, 'we're here for a good time, not a long time', so I will do what pleases me so long as I harm no one else. I'll pretty much go with the flow and not allow the petty irritations to eat away at me (in the same way that a large tree can be tormented and eventually be felled by a million tiny pesky termites). I have come so far (or have I?) to the point where I now find myself in this thing called a life, I don't know what I have accomplished (if anything), I will try to unburden myself of a lot of the mental and emotional nonsense which I have been carrying for so long and which simply doesn't matter. Since I will be gone eventually, why carry that kind of burden right to the end of the line? Why indeed? Life is short, death is forever, so what sense does it make to get uptight about...almost everything?<br /><br />Thanks for today's blog post, Brian. Appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
