We all know that our lives will eventually end. It’s the process of life, part of it. But we tend to forget it. It helps the increase of marketing ads and a society based on consumerism… “Buy it, you will be in fashion”. “Buy it; you will be part of us”. Promotion is based on exploiting the sense of belonging that we as human beings need. If you have it, you are part of the group of people who dress or have the latest fashion. Well done!
But that is not what you are going to take when you leave this earth. The only thing that you are going to take is what you lived. If you have lived your life wisely, you’ll know that when doing the right thing, when giving without expecting to receive anything in return, life, the Universe, gives you back twice as much as you have given. And the best part is that you leave a mark. You leave a mark on those you helped. You can’t imagine how much good you can do by just smiling at people. If a serious problem that human beings have is being accepted, by spontaneously smiling you can give joy to a person. “Someone talked to me…someone smiled at me…I am not transparent; someone cares”…
Most people who are dying ask either for forgiveness or express love. Love is the only feeling that transcends beyond life. If you don’t believe me, think of your loved ones who are no longer here. Even if you can’t see them, you still love them, right? By remembering them, they have something of you…they are brought back again to life by the love you still give them.
Teach to give more love. Teach to differentiate love from control, possession or aggression. Because in the end, when you understand that the only thing you’re going to take when you die is what you live, it's when you start living what you want to take...
