The End

The End.

The average human being has a lifespan from 72 to 80 years,
In between those years it’s possible that you spent most of it entangled in own fears.
When asked how lived, most people will project their lifespan between those years based on wealth, relationships, achievements and many more ,
While some may not even make an effort and say their life was a bore,
A few would say “there wasn’t much to look forward to as they were mostly poor”,
The rich would say “money is the way, as it can open any door” 
   
As humans we’re always evolving, and each experience or encounter forms our inner man,
On discovering who we are, we are now ready to create a formidable plan,
That is the plan that will guide us till we reach our death bed, 
This plan includes our personal values, beliefs and type of people we choose to call a friend.
And my favorite thing about humans isn’t just our diversity,
But also the beauty in our similarity.
 
They always say “Life is too short”.
But has anyone ever thought that maybe life isn’t too short ?,
We often characterize that quote by the fact that something bad may happen,
So much can happen in such little time be it good or bad.
In 30 seconds someone can get married,
In that same 30 seconds someone can also prepare to get buried. 
 
The truth is, we’re all just entities wandering a vast space,
Constantly wondering where we came from with no trace,
What you do with your life between 0 to 80 is in your hands and yours alone,
When the time comes, no one is gonna remember the highlight of your skin tone,
So with this I write to you to live your life as you please,
And try and maintain your upmost steeze.

Interesting philosophical write. As for me, I don't wonder where I came from, why I'm here or where I'm going. I found reliable, logical answers to these existential questions and much more. And I believe the best and greatest achievement a person can gain in the 70-80 years is a relationship with one's Creator. Have a great weekend
