"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
-- Abraham Lincoln

Today i heard news of a young person who died during child labor. And it made me think and meditate upon life. There is a way to triple this brief life. What if i decided to celebrate my birthday once a month? #Cheapthrills Stuff. Meaning in 2 years i would be 24 years older mentally. Just like light years or dog years.. if 1000 years are like one day to God that means that God years also exist:innocent: It's all about mental attitude. It is all in the mind.

Anne Frank lived only 16 years from (1929–1945). If you are reading this you will never be popular than her. Jesus Christ lived 33 years. You will never be popular or command more faith than him too. Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970 at the age of 27. Drug overdose of course.
Martin Luther King lived 39 years (1929–1968). Malcom X lived 39 years too (1925-1965) . Both men exited under duress(assassination).
Jeff Buckley died on May 29, 1997 at age 30. He drowned in the Mississippi River, where he enjoyed swimming.

Heath Ledger-one of my best actors Died in 2008, at age 28.
Jim Morrison too Died in 1971, at age 27,a very talented guy.

My favorite rapper Tupac Shakur Rapper Died in 1996, at age 25. Marvin Gaye died on April 1, 1984 at age 44. He was shot by his father, who used a gun that Gaye had given him as a gift.

Bruce Lee died on July 20, 1973 at age 32. He had a brain condition called cerebral edema. Diana, Princess of Wales died on August 31, 1997 at age 36.Marilyn Monroe made her exit at 36 1926–1962.

meaning of life

Lots of people assign all kinds of conditions to the meaning of life.
I ask you to consider this.

Life has no meaning.
It is just the state of existing.

The meaning of life is a personal assessment of your own experiences, your expectations and your actions/responses to other's actions.

Life is simple - you either are alive or you are not.

I dont know that life has a meaning so much as a purpose. for me, the purpose is to try and leave your corner a bit better than you found it, and to demonstrate as best we can the way human behavior SHOULD be towards one another, instead of only going along with how it IS.

i believe we are not just passengers in life who just board to reach a destination which is death. We always have a hard task ahead of us in life of finding that one thing that makes us feel alive, that one thing that gives us a sense of belonging and makes us complete. Otherwise i feel just existing isn't enough without feeling alive...

There is no meaning to life. Figure that out and it makes things a lot simpler.

Life is a sexually-transmitted disease that is 100% fatal.
You may scoff but think about it for a minute.

I used to think there must be a meaning to life until it was taken from me then returned to me. When you find yourself clinging to life, expecting it to end, you gain a new view on the meaning of things.

Its not life that has meaning, It what you think, feel and do while you are alive that has meaning. Life itself is nothing more than the baseline existence that allows you to be you.

Most people can't grasp that concept.
But whatever concept you do embrace, if it fills your contentment, go for it.

A simple but seldomly understood concept.
Most people have a tendancy to make things out to be much more complicated than they are. I dunno why?

My meaning to my life is all about goal setting. Yes I am selfish (to a point) but if I don't find a purpose for myself, then how can I ever help others? I believe in the motto of "An act of random kindness", which can be as simple as smiling to a stranger and saying hello. Just something so simple as that can mean the world to someone.

Be careful which stranger you say hello to or smile at. They may get the wrong idea. I had a drunk follow me once, declaring his love for me. Yikes!
