What is the cause of the love of life?
I've often thought about that. In some sense, it is the nearness of death. The cold hand of death approaches you, and you realize that it can take you at
any time . You won't necessarily live to see the next day. Have you thought about it ? Have you thought to yourself "This is the
last night I have to live. I won't see another day, I won't see the sunrise, I won't feel the warm, comforting arms of my kids/parent/parents hug me ever, ever,
ever again. I won't feel the wind blow softly across my skin, I won't feel pain but I won't feel joy, anger, love. especially love. I won't pay taxes or get a tax refund. I
won't be on Earth again !"
To see the summation of life, to feel it as it ebbs and flows around you is quite an experience. Every moment should be cherished,
every sin avoided, every moment embraced..and to
love, to feel the unifying power of
LOVE. What is better ?
What would you
trade for an hour, a minute, a millisecond for the experience of
LIFE ?!?
NOTHING !! NOTHING !!!
