Life...

Sometimes I wonder why certain things happen in one’s life. I know there is no way that we can explain why certain things happen and we just have to accept, but sometimes I really am left dazzled at why certain things happen to certain people, myself included. Today i seem to be bumping into wise words by wise people, and it still leaves me in the same state that I started off in...WHY? or am I just being paranoid?
Rose Kennedy highlights that “life isn’t a matter of milestones but of moments.” And then I guess well, there is some consolation there. I guess I should just appreciate those good moments that I am experiencing and not worry too much about the long term ha! Mmmh not quite! Yes it’s those moments that make life worth living, but when I really look back to some of the most enjoyable moments in my life, most of them are with the wrong people! And they are not even in my life at the moment, so do i really want to remember those. And then i keep asking why was i even allowed to have those moments with those people anyway if they are just going to walk out of my life as soon as the moments are over? And then some of those moments are with the right people but they are just not at your disposal when you need them, for reasons that we have no control over. God’s plans are just inexplicable I guess! And then Helen Keller throws in some wisdom which I really agree with. She says “life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood” I guess if we use this quote to explain my current state of confusion, we could conclude that I haven’t lived enough to understand half the things that are going on in my life at the moment and will I ever live up to that age? And then i come across Colette who exclaims “what a wonderful life I’ve had! I only wish I had realised it sooner.” And then i pause to think, what if I am worrying about so much that I am not seeing how good my life is and then one day I am just going to wish I could relive the better days (which are happening now). So i guess I should stop whining and enjoy the “moments”. Then as if Elbert Hubbard was eavesdropping, he echoes similar sentiments “Don’t take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.” OMG so true. As much as we can try to make things go the way we want it to, and they usually don’t, the truth of the matter is we are all going to die, sooner or later so i guess it makes more sense to make a legacy and have people remember you for the positive things that you do rather than the negative. Wherever there is life then there is definitely hope. So for as long as I am living I suppose I should always be hopeful.
