The sad truth is, life is but a fleeting moment. We hear this and sometimes think this about our own lives... that we must make the most out of our life, for soon our life will be over. But there is a greater truth to it.
You see, we all have loved ones and friends. We all have people who mean so much to us; at least, that is what we tell ourselves. But if they mean so much to us, why then do we take them for granted? We do not invest in people. We do not invest in people we love. We do not invest in people who are supposed to be important to us.
I see this as more and more, a growing and worsening trend. People are more addicted to their phones, ipads and tablets than they are with the company they are surrounded with. We cannot make it through a ten minute conversation without scrolling through our phones. Social media is the greatest extent of our social life...
But the hard truth is this:
All of our loved ones will eventually move away, move out of our lives, and die. And we will always be left alone.
Read that again...
I say this not to depress you, but to warn you... Put down the things that don't matter. Cherish your loved ones in the brief few seconds you are allowed to hold them. Spend today WITH them, not in their presence, but WITH them; for tomorrow they will be gone, and you will only have regret to hold.
