Title: perspective
Post by: africanmeat on February 03, 2015, 12:05:18 PM

when i was young and life was good to me and i became a key personal at work .
i became very cocky . one day I joined my dad to his monthly visit to his parents grave . after we light the candles he looked around and ask me "what do you see".
I looked around and I answered plenty of graves .
he looked at me and said , no you see  plenty  irreplaceable people  .
It changed my life .

For me..."IS"  happens to be the most presumptuous word in the universe. For, nothing IS forever, not even us.

Love, learn and live as much as you possibly can today. Tomorrow may come....but today is all that IS.....

Very good words and something to remember. When I go to the cemetery, I remark to my wife "At my age, I know more people in the ground than above it."
