It's easy to forget what life is really all about. And to start living like it's about getting an Nintendo Wii, or making more money, or paying bills, or waiting until next summer when I'm going to look great after I've lost weight.
Some say, "live like there's no tomorrow." Others, "plan today for tomorrow."
I'm really doing neither.
I know in my head to not be bound by my past, nor to wait for the future for my salvation. But this is the normal way of life in this world, and so I live unconsciously with exactly those mindsets more often than not.
But I've have some sobering reminders lately about the undeniable fact that my outer body is dying, just like everyone else. I am no different.
My assumption, for whatever reason, has been that I will continue in this existence for quite some time. But it is an open question. In truth, it is always an open question for everyone, but we live in group thought, and we pay little attention to what our own bodies tell us about our selves specifically, instead comforting ourselves with statistics which tell us of our relatively long life spans
