We Live

[prothalla]

Life isn't what we expect it to be. In fact most of the time it's the exact opposite. Of course there are times when we can plan our actions, but how much control do we really have over our lives. Our every action is based on some form of morals that where taught to us by our family, friends and society. Each generation learning from the next and so on and so on. Every moment should be cherished, every moment defines who we are, and what we are doing with our lives. We all have choices, sometimes the choices we have aren't exactly the ones we want; but they are still choices. The people we meet, be they close friends or a person scanning our items grocery store all impact us. If a butterfly flaps it's wings on one side of the globe and tsunami occurs on the other. Think of these people as the butterflies and the events in our lives are the tsunami's.
As children we grow, we laugh, we learn, we love all in an unconditional manner... that is until our innocence drifts away, we have learnt to think for ourselves, we have our own perceptions our own thoughts our own feelings. We are individuals.
As cliche as it sounds.... life goes on. No event is strong enough to end our worlds... except of course our own demise. But even then, when we are cold, buried, lifeless our stories go on in the people that we met, be they friends, family or the people scanning our items at the grocery store. Nothing ends.
Our hearts beat, the blood rushes through our veins, we live... our hearts stop, the blood stops, we live...
Nothing ends; nothing is final;
life is eternal, maybe not in the religious sense who know's;
but life IS eternal.
We Live.
