25

how long would you wanna live? someone told me that she would be satisfied if she could live till 25. 25? isn't that a little too early? i thought so too. she explained. for her, 25 years is enough for her to experience a lot of things, to learn what she wants to learn, to see what she wants to see. it was enough for her to experience alot of first times. the first time she worked, the first time she loved a person whole heartedly, the first time she got her heart brokened, etc...


for me, i used to think that if i could live up to 70 i would be damn satisfied. i thought that would give me enough time to do all i wanted to do. but this particular conversation got me thinking. do i really need so much time to live my life fully? do i really have so much to do? i have a list of must-dos and i thought, another 5 more years would be sufficient to fulfil that list. and if i really fulfil my list, 30 years would be enough for me.


and then something came to my mind. if a person's average life span is only 25 years, wouldnt things be so different. i am sure it wouldnt be so much of an importance to have a good education and a good job. at least i think i wouldnt need one. then there wouldnt be a need to have loads of money too isnt it. since you're only gonna live for 20 odd years, just earn and spend what you have right? then there wouldnt be greed!! no greed, no problems, no conflict, no wars. hahaha i thinking too much here...


life is short anyway. therefore i think it is important to learn to appreciate the finer things in life. work super hard, but at the same time have lots of fun. appreciate the people around and the things they do for you. put faith and trust on them and you shall see that they are true to you.
