…and of course we do, but it’s limited. The moment we enter this world, a count-down starts for each and every one of us, a count-down we have no knowledge of.
We know nothing about the number of our days, and the only certainty in this life is that, eventually, those days will end.
But, the thing is, most of us, if not all, see that end as something very far, far away. But life teaches us, daily, that that’s not always the case; sometimes that end might be closer than we think it is.
For all we know, that end could come tomorrow, and yet we are constantly wasting time, forgetting about the important things.
Do we take good care of ourselves?
How much time do we actually spend on things that we truly enjoy and are passionate about?
How many relationships have we left damaged because of a misunderstanding or pride?
How much good do we contribute to this world?
Do people that are important to us know how we feel about them? Do we see/talk to them enough or are we too busy?
And do we like the people we have to see often enough to not consider it a waste of time?
So many important questions, and yet we are only reminded of them in the face of adversity; like I did.
And when pain and sadness become dull, I will most likely forget them again; like we all do, because we are amazingly adaptable like that.
We embrace our losses and move on; as long as those who live on remember, those gone never really leave.
