Have you thought about this?
In 100 years we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.
Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown. Our descendants will hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?
After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.
If we paused one day to analyze these questions, perhaps we could understand how important it is to enjoy every day as if it was our last. If we could only think about this, surely our thoughts would change, we would be better people.
Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. We could change all this to live and enjoy the walks we’ve never taken, these hugs we didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy and happiness, as tomorrow doesn’t exist. The only time which exists is the present.
Sometimes when you think about death, it helps you live.
