So did millions of other people.
And yet more people were born yesterday.
There were still more people who died yesterday.
Life is not as long as we like to think it is. If you blink your eyes, you will most likely miss a good portion of your life.
Life is not easier with your eyes closed.
If your eyes are closed, you will miss something that you will never get back, something that will be over in a breath. You will miss your entire life.
It's been said that life is a vapor. And whoever said that couldn't be more right. Life is gone before you know it. You think you have all the time in the world, when you really only have one lifetime. And that is not a long time.
If life is so incredibly short, what is there to live for? Does it really matter, then, if you have the most "friends"? Does it really matter, then, if you were the best at...something? Does it really matter, then, if you have the right car, house, and clothes? Does it really matter, then, if you make everybody happy?
Because you never will.
Life may be short, but in it there can be more than we have ever known. In this short span of time, all of us are given an opportunity to live for something that is bigger than ourselves, something that makes life worth living. As cliched as it sounds, it's true.
There are bigger things than us.
Life is short. Live. But live for something worth living for.
And most importantly: Keep your eyes open.
Quote of the day (selected at random): "Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite." ~C.S. Lewis
