Why do we try so hard to build a reputation? Why do we try so hard to be the best of the best? We are all dying slowly. One day we will be nothing more then a memory engraved in our ancestors brains, so why do we spend all of are time focusing on the petty aspects of life. We should be focusing on bettering ourselves.
The thought of death used to terrify me. I still remember walking home from school looking up and the cloud and feeling the wind rush past me. I still remember my stomach sinking and feeling as if my world was ending. For some reason I could only think of death. For months after that, the only thought on my mind was the fact that i'm not going to be on this planet for ever. When i'd tell the people close to me they'd all say "you're young, you still have a life ahead of you." or "stop worrying you can't avoid it". But i'm glad I thought about it.
I'm glad because now I see differently. I act differently. I look up to clouds and as I watch them blow away I realize that I too am like a cloud. Within the blink of an eye I could simply not be here. I look at everything in a different light. I appreciate the life that I have been granted with. I try to look at the positive aspect of things because every second I spend whining or crying I could be spending laughing and enjoying myself. The human race neglects to realize this. We all act as if we are superior. I'm glad I had that feeling of fear and questioning. I'm glad I opened my eyes. It allowed me to enjoy the life I have. The human race spends too much time impressing others. Live you're life. Impress your self.
