Life? We always hear this word. Saying things like this person was born or this person is alive, but sometimes we forget that there are also people who lived and who are dead.

There is never a time when at someone's death, we don't mention a time they were alive, or a time when someone is born and we mention their death. That's just the way we humans are. We try as hard as we can to stay in the bliss of this world, forgetting that this happiness is only temporary. We forget until the very last moment that life can take us at any time. Always spending every moment thinking we have a life time ahead of us. Saying "I'll do this tomorrow." Not knowing full well if there is indeed going to be a tomorrow.

This pattern keeps continuing until death stares us in the face. It is then that we truly realize the life we wasted. The time we spent doing nothing.

It is then that we realize that soon, we will just be another human to live on this planet. Another face in the history books. Just another grave that was placed on this earth.

But we don't have to end up like that. We can be so much more and accomplish so much but the time to do that is not tomorrow. It's today, at this very second that we need to recognize the truth of this world. It's today that we have to start changing. Changing our hearts to understand that this world is just a distraction and the that death is very near.
