Life

It’s the biggest Present we’ll ever get.
And no one asked us, if we want it or not.
That’s the reason why sometimes we Love
And sometimes we Hate it.
We use to complain about it, and it’s difficult situations
But all in all we are afraid to lose it.
And although each of us knows, that we have to give it back one Day,
We all fear that Day and try to ignore it.

Life.

We all came to this World with a loud Scream.
And since we began to realize the World around us with our entire Mind, we have been asking Questions.



Where do we go?
What do we do?
Why are we here?

The Problem is that there are no wrong and no right answers.
Philosophy is something that plays an important role in my Life.
I love to think about situations over and over again, sometimes too much, and without finding an answer, of course, but I do it anyway.
When I was younger I used to ask myself a lot about what the sense of my Life could or should be.
All I got was panic and fear of Death.
I am horribly afraid of dying.
Of leaving this planet forever and being forgotten after all the people who loved me left this planet, too.
I know there are surely many people who say: “There will be paradise waiting for us.”
Or: “Something higher is at the other Site.”
I’m sorry, I never was that religious and I simply don’t believe this, when I see nature and all it’s wonders, where all in all it’s only about: Eat or be eaten.
When I realized that thinking about Life and Death only scares me, I tried hard not to think about it.
I was, as almost every one of us, able to blend the fact that one Day I must go, out.
Until the Day some important people in my Life died.
They simply left. Without having being able to say Goodbye or something.
Now we could say “That’s how Life works. You can’t decide on your own when you want to die.”
True, but kind of unfair.
We get our Lives, without knowing why.
And it is taken, without knowing when.

Now as no one of us knows when he or she has to go, every person does what he or she considers being most important or “the right Way” for them.
The problem is: As humans we make mistakes.
And at the end of the road there is always something we would have wanted to change or done different.
But we never can really undo our mistakes.
We learn from them, maybe we get stronger because we made them, but we can never turn back time.
We have only one Chance to find our personal “right Way” and no person can tell us what exactly to do, where to go, what to reach in Life.
Maybe our parents try to lead us into one direction, but how should we know if that is what we really want to do?
They’re older, have seen and got to know many things, they want only our best, but that doesn’t give them the right to lead OUR life into the direction THEY want it, does it?
Well I guess in the end, we’re all influenced by many people and things that simply happen in our Life.

Destiny?
I don’t know if I should believe in something like this, but sometimes it’s strange how things simply happen and we had no influence on it.

Anyway, all in all it’s mostly in our Hands how we use our big Chance.
It shouldn’t be wasted or ended too early; it should be accepted and enjoyed, with every Breath we take.
And even if sometimes accidents, sicknesses or other things take some persons out of our Lives much too early: We shouldn’t be angry about that, sad yes, but also happy for every second we had with that person.



Even if not all in Life is always great, even if there are ups and downs – we should learn from them. Accept the things that come and try to deal with them in the best way we can.
Hiding from problems and fears, doesn’t solve them nor take them away.
It makes everything only worse.

So Life is something we have lend from God, Nature or whatever, and until whoever takes it back, we must go our Way. No matter which Stones are waiting for making us stumble.
