Life Of A Cigar

A cigar is appreciated simply, By observing how it is burned. From where it starts till it ends, The fire erases its way forward. As the smoke favors consume, It's like life how the story goes From birth to its maturity show. Going forward written as will, Like history unfold its all done, Read every pages up to the end. Retold its content to every ear Life is read, re-read and retold. To every generation for wisdom, A guiding star that light our way.

Metaphorically speaking, our life is like a burning cigar nonstop. Our life has manufacturing date and an expiration date. When the cigar burning ends, it will be thrown away as a discard. Life is simply like that, there's an ending in everything. The only twist about the life of a man is that, we are special creation. We are a free moral agent. We have our freedom of choice. This freedom has its accountability, and we are responsible for the reward and punishment by the One who has given us this privileges in the afterlife. In between those time of cigar burning process is our history, our experiences and the trivial in life. Hope it's a good story. It's beneficial to that person. In the end, life is more meaningful as it expires. Thank you, Darlene for sharing your views. Love you more./Hugo.
