Life...

Did you ever stop to think about life, and the meaning of it all? I do that every once in a while. Sometimes I'll think about love and how two people who are so different can come together and find happiness with a complete stranger. Sometimes I try to figure out things which, when you really think about them, are REALLY strange; for example, kissing. What is so significant about two people pressing their lips together and touching lip to lip? I think the significance is simply the trust needed to accomplish such a thing. But that's a Random Thought for another day...

Life... We are born into this world, brought up into society as (hopefully) thinking, rational human beings, and released into this world to accomplish something. But what is that something? Is it something to be remembered by? Is our life wasted if no one remembers us after we are gone? Mother Teresea certainly didn't live a wasted life, but how many people remember her on a daily basis? Personally, I think leaving a huge legacy is overrated. Elvis left a huge legacy, but that doesn't mean he was happy in his life. I think what we are to accomplish in our short time on this earth is to make a small part of it happy. I have a friend who passed away about five years ago, and he didn't do anything spectacular with his life, but he made the people around him happy. You could always look to him for a smile and a pick-me-up. He was never famous, but I will miss him way more than I could ever miss Elvis.

I do my best to try to make the people around me happy. To see a smile and know that I am the one who was the cause of it makes me happy, and gives me a feeling of satisfaction. Not that I try to please everyone I see, don't misunderstand me. But if you mean something to me and you are important in my life, I want to see you happy, and I will do whatever I have to to make you smile.

Life is about living, not existing. Live your life to it's fullest. Take advantage of every opportunity as it presents itself. Take pleasure in the little things in life. Don't just stop to smell the roses, look at all the other beautiful flowers beside it. Marvel at the creation and thank the Creator for giving you such a beautiful thing to admire.
