Impetus for article: I was recently emailed a chain email asking for donations for a funeral of a 22 year old woman. She was found dead, the autopsy showed she was strangled.
First and foremost, what a shitty way to go. It was probably someone she momentarily trusted, a decision which resulted in her death.
There is a point in everyone's life, yes, even yours, when you will come to the realization that time is passing by as you just comfortably exist in this beautifully constructed facade we call life. Some of us reach for material items which can either provide a distraction or return some semblance of the youthful vigor we once knew and let us reminisce of a time when our whole life was ahead of us. Others, too engrossed in the insignificant activities that help us turn away from the oncoming flood of stagnation, will subsist to the best of their abilities until they slowly disintegrate.
Point of consideration: Your negligible existence matters not to the rotation of the earth or to the fluctuations of the Dow, unless of course you happen to be Bill Gates, or probably even to your neighbors neighbor, but it should matter to you. So, with that in mind, you should take the time to ask yourself each day, “What contribution have I made?”
