Does everything lasts?

Just how long does everything lasts?

I was caught in a jam one morning and it dawned upon me that the answer is NOTHING! Ain't that the fact? Things you possessed currently might no longer be yours in time to come. This includes your family, your friends, your career, your health, your wealth, your beauty, etc etc.

Nothing is forever. They might lasts for a substantial period of your life but they certainly will not be with you until the day you die. That is my definition of forever.

You were born into this world alone. Without anyone by your side. You came to know your parents and then your siblings and then, other members of the family. As you grow up, you meet new people, you got friends. By the time you graduate, you earned a degree and then you got yourself a job. As a young adult, you possessed vibrant health and youth to allow you to go places and do all kinds of stuffs that you wanted to do. When your time comes, you end it alone. You can't bring anything along with you. Basically, what ever yo u do in this life, you do it alone. Think about it.

People leave. That's one thing for sure. By the time you hit mid-life, your friends drifted. Your parents and relatives left. You've changed numerous jobs. Your health takes a toll on you and you no longer be able to lead the life you used to. Yes. You would be married. With children and maybe grandchildren. But as said, people do leave. Where does that leave you in the end?

So, tell me now what is forever? It is the fact of life. Now you see it, now you don't. Or rather, now you have it, now you don't. But I am not too worry about it. The one thing that I've learnt lately, it's about this. To let go. In doing so, I won't be too hard on myself. It is unhealthy to always live in the past. So I've been told. In doing so, you'll miss the present and maybe ruin the future. A little flashback is good enough to improve the present. That's all it takes to get life going.

I am enjoying life at the moment. Allowing it to bring me to where ever it desires. Maybe it's a form of ignorance. But isn't ignorance bliss?
