Too short to live

A friend of mine has helped me realize one thing. Life is too short to live.True? Certainly! But there are still conditions that subject a person to short lived his/her life.

One, is loneliness, the state or feeling of being all alone in this world. When the world suddenly went black and the horror of it is that you're in the middle of nowhere gasping for air and slowly feeling the numbing pain. Sounds absurd? Absurdity but true. What will drive you to this state depends on how appreciative you are on even the simplest occurrence that go on your way. Even a simple hello is enough to warm an appreciative heart.

Second, is pride? How expensive is happiness? Its worth not even a cent but a single heartfelt memory that will make your day complete, such euphoric state is enough to last you through the day. So if happiness is inexpensive what makes a person unhappy? Pride, this stops you from remembering. You focus on anger and throw away memories that bring you happy thoughts.

Third, is guilt? When you stop yourself from listening to what others are saying. When you're not dumb neither deaf, just guilty. Defending your insensitivity, naivety, negligence whatever you may call it, you are defending you're burst bubble. It's just that you don't want to stand up and admit you're flaws and instead of accepting your weaknesses it is just too easy and tempting to put up an accusing finger on others without having the slightest hint that the other four fingers are pointing at you.

These three stopped me cold on my journey to life. I backtracked and had some major reassessment. What have I done with my life? I don't want to live longer than 60 but I don't want to shortchange in living my life till then. I wanted to live life to the fullest and with minor difficulty I want my love ones to enjoy living with me.

I've regretted to learn all these facts of life too late. I've already lost my friend. But life has to go on. At least, now that I've learned these, life still is not too short to live.
