Life's Fleeting Nature and Unseen Changes

We live our lives as if there will always be another day, 
often taking advantage of those around us, 
much like an alcoholic unaware of their addiction
or a tobacco smoker oblivious to the smell of smoke. 
It often takes someone pointing out the changes for us 
to truly see and understand our impact to things around us.
