Existing, not Living
Written by AlineBrazilPea on March 12, 2009
These days I got to find out that I am existing, and not living my life. I guess in my previous life I was a bear, no kidding. Because I eventually have these weird phases aka "growth", according to some people (This intelectual IQ shit has grown on my mind lately).
But really, how can a person that has been more mature than the others of the same age, become even more mature? that might be dangerous, u know? like my head will EXPLODE due to amount of information.
Blame it on university ok. Because since I got there my whole life has changed and I sometimes wish I lived in a farm, full of cute pinky pigs around me. The Simple Life ;-)
But back to the topic, visiting a Cancer Institution made me stop and think that we sometimes complain about things that we should actually be thankful for. I am pretty sure it is better to be lost on books and deadlines for tests/work/essays/texts/books/presentations/bosses/teaching activities than not having an eye due to Cancer. A 5 year old child must suffer much more with a hole instead of a left eye than you and me together. Specially knowing you might have 6 months or 5 days to live.
And that is when I stopped and thought that I gotta live again, as I used to, like 4 months ago or so.
This is completely senseless, for anyone that did not see what I saw today. But all you got to know is that we shall live, not only exist :-)

HI I am recently posted as your new friend...... and I think that the living and the existing is all together, every moment of your lives.......My family dog has been hit by a car, last night .. .. He has spinal injury... we need to spend another $1500 dollars to find out if he can be fixed. $3000 maybe more when we find out..
Do we exist and decide he is just an animal lets put him down now and save money.....so we can live
Or do we live and say bugger the money we will find out tomorrow night just what we have to do.then.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Life can just be fricken hard to EXIST....T.H.E E.N.D

Amen to that! Rejoice in life and give thanks during the unnoticed good times.
Don't pray only in times of trouble, pray and give thanks always
Be Blessed
