Live Life to the fullest by Dragonelle
What does it really mean?
Does it mean that we try to outlive ourselves by doing things that we haven’t done or things that we dream about? Does it mean that we start doing the whole World Peace thing? Or does it mean that we keep on partying like there’s no tomorrow?
A phrase like this always comes up when we hear something somber, or of tragic happenings in the world or to the ones we know. Then we hear ourselves advising to our closest kin that we should live life to the fullest cos life is too short to be sad or be stressed at work. We never know when we will go.
But can we really fulfill a common motto? Does our current situation allow us to carry it thru? True, some of us have the luxury to do it. Others, well, they just don’t have it. So what do we do? Try as we may to make the most of our situations, we sometimes fail to see the other side of things.
Historical events are happening in the world today. Many of which have been predicted since centuries ago and are coming to pass today. Some people belief that what was written in the past is due to a certain Someone who has traveled from the future to tell of what will happen in the world today.
If this is so, shouldn’t we start looking around and taking heed of what is going on around us? Even if this philosophy is untrue and perhaps, that Person did foresee the future and accounted it in the past of what will happen today. Even, if today’s stories were foretold in the past and are already happening today. Either way, shouldn’t we take notice and tune in to the disasters of the 21st century?
I was just watching Oprah Winfrey on Monday evening and she had this guy on air who is an expert in diseases. He was talking about the pandemics of SARS, birdflu that are worse than AIDS. Here’s what he has to say: That there are more diseases to come that have no vaccine. Influenza in itself will mutate to form several flu viruses worse than our common flu. And to say the least, they have found and cultured a virus that was believed to have died in 1918. Diseases in the past which was once thought to have been wiped out will make a come back. Similarly, there will be more natural disasters that will come which we will not be prepared for. (http://home.tiscali.nl/tdruiter/7bowls.htm)
There could be many interpretations of Revelations, but nonetheless, they all spell disasters and the worlds’ efforts to curb or prevent them today. Thus, I have one question, should we still life our lives to the fullest or should do what we can to save our souls? This is one question only we can answer as individuals.
Think about it, and think hard.
