Think back to when you were a child straining so hard to reach your hand into the cookie jar, or trying to get something off a shelf or a table and wishing you were taller like your parents or your older siblings, so you wouldn't have to rely on someone or something to help you do basic day-to-day tasks. I can remember many times looking forward to growing up and doing the things grown up people could do. You can also see that most young teenage girls wanting to look older than they really are to attract or fool older guys. But once you hit a certain age you start to regret your young childhood wishes of wanting to grow up faster. The reason being is, a lot of people attach negative ideas to aging mainly because of the final consequence. Its something that some cultures embrace and others fear. I have realized that not many people enjoy talking about death because of fear alone, or they do not want to jinx themselves. We also have heard or experienced sad stories of dying but I feel that these things aren't necessarily bad things beacause i feel you get to live, learn, and most important laugh. Granted we always miss our loved one that pass away, but these things can also be great things for people; it can bring families closer together, it can help an individual spiritually or religiously, and can help people to really see life in a different perspective and teach them how to really live. The phrase "you only live once" has really helped me enjoy life better and also become a better and more enjoyable person.
Your thoughts and comments would really help and would be appreciated.
