They say we have a choice in life to decide whether or not happiness is something we want for ourselves; Yet so many of us seem to be mad at the world for our misery and disappointment. Why is that? It seems that when we were just babies the world to us was an amusement park. Now we seem to find everything that could possibly go wrong at any given moment. Happiness, the treasure we all seek, seems to elude and deceive us.

Everyday we go out into the world hoping to come home with some sense of achievement. Sounds easy right? Well in between satisfaction and this reward we seem to lose sight of the big picture. We strive so much for happiness that we all find ourselves wanting more. This is where we get selfish. Isn’t happiness just contentment? Isn’t being content all anyone really wants? It would seem so but human nature is a constant that ruins this equation.

Why are we here? This question is asked throughout the ages and never seems to have a solid answer. What’s your reason for being here? We all have an answer to this question. What goal do you hope to achieve while you live and breathe, more importantly live on this earth. We worry so much about how we look, how we act and what people will think of us that we miss the main point. To live and live for as long as we can. Yeah everyday we are that much closer to death and yeah that’s a topic that we don’t want to face. Death is inevitable and there is nothing denial or science can do to rectify what is eventually going to happen.

I can’t tell you all the worries I have in my life and everything I’m to constantly worry about. It would seem that the inanimate objects have a simpler life, why because they don’t do anything. They sit there and live out their life with no worries and even if they had any what could they do? Nothing is the answer.

Since life is a series of ups and downs why do we complain about how our life is? You go to school and you make a new friend, you come home and you get grounded for staying out too late the night before. The ups and downs of life. Just like nothing can be perfect forever nothing can be just as bad for any long period of time. What’s sad is that all we care about is ourselves. Yes you have your friends and family and moments of greatness but its all about you in the end. When you get closer to dying all that achievement that you worked so hard for, you will be the only person who really cares. When you die only the close circle of friends that you had will ever care to remember you that much after you’re gone.

Still I can only wonder about the emotions we have. The subtle feeling of vengeance, the confusing tones of love, the serenity of friends and friendships, and the heartbreak of losing someone close. I can only wonder what twists and turns tomorrow can dish out. I trust that when I wake up tomorrow that the day will have something I can learn from. It’s great to have friends that care and family that watches out for you. In the end all you have are the memories you’ve instilled and the knowledge that you did something that at least one person will care about. I know that I’m just one insignificant person on this earth but I think life is nothing more that an experiment. Just try different mixtures till you find out what works for you. Thanks for listening.
