Life Goes Fast

Look at it there, silently standing next to you. You think you are so great and powerful, and yet you are at the mercy of an ethereal ghost. A simple sigh and your entire existence passes in front of you. You are young, and when you open your eyes, you are already an old person. Time forgives no one and can be the cruelest tyrant if you don't know how to make the most of it. There is no way to go back, no matter how much you cry or beg. After all, time, like death, is one of those things that absolutely forgives no one. Treat the poor as well as the rich.

A subtle scythe hangs from your shoulders from the day you were born, and yet you seem to have very little awareness of it. You laugh, you dance and love as if you were sure that your existence was eternal. Isn't that wonderful? You are such a fragile creature, and for an instant, you feel almost omnipotent.

That is the magic of joy: It can make us forget in an instant how fragile our own human nature is.

Time is too slow for those who wait,

Too swift for those who fear,

Too long for those who grieve,

Too short for those who rejoice,

But for those who Love,

Time is Eternity.

-Henry Van Dyke

Remembering the fragile and transitory of human existence should not be a reason to sink into an infinite abyss full of sadness and darkness. It should motivate to the opposite Take advantage of this knowledge to enjoy your stay on this planet called Earth the best you can.

There is no point in wasting time with discussions that add nothing to your existence. After all, you don’t know if tomorrow could be your last day on Earth.

What is the point of living submerged in hatred? Hate corrupts everything like a black fire that steals the light from everything around it.

It is better to use the minutes of our existence to share some of the love that we have in our hearts with others. Hate only hurts, and love has the undeniable power to heal wounded spirits.

To achieve such changes it is not necessary for anyone to be a millionaire or owner of a big company. To give love it is necessary to simply open your heart and have a little faith in humanity.

Yes, keeping faith in humanity is not an easy task for anyone. Just look at the news and you will be a at least, a little disappointed in our fellow human beings. But if we don't break that chain of hatred, then who will do it? It is true, at the end of the road, each one chooses their life and the way in which to live it.

However, we must never forget that humankind is one big family of which we are all an important part. If we have the chance to help someone else's suffering be a little less heavy. Let's do it! It doesn't matter if you feel like an insignificant being next to others. Even if you don't fully realize it, a simple gesture of yours can completely change someone else's day. Something small but honest can make another person smile brightly.

Don't be afraid to share the gift of love with those around you. Everything you give comes back to you. But if you don't believe in karma, in the end, it doesn't matter. Do it simply to feel that during your time on this planet your soul was not indifferent to the pain of others.
