"Life is shit and then you die"
But is that all there is?
What does it mean to live?
Are those words really true in all its despair?
"She lived a beautiful life"
Annie Le's brother said of his sister
Annie Le indeed was beautiful, as well academically achieved , charitable and powerful with potential
Enjoying her active social life, loved by so many
Despite whatever her obstacles
She overcame them all
Enjoying the sprinklings of happiness
And then
At the young age of 24 , the promising life she painstakingly planned is snatched out of her hands
And out of this world she could have helped
But still it's true
She lived a beautiful life
Henrietta Lacks was also young and beautiful , with a generous heart but she lived a hard life
She was born into a world full of racial injustice
But she made do
Enjoying the sprinklings of happiness along the way
And then
She too dies at a young age, leaving her small ones motherless
This planet will go on and on and on
And us , the human inhabitants
We live
Meeting our milestones
Carrying out the age old cycle of life and death
Both natural and unnatural
What does it mean to live?
Someone wise once said
" Live and love
And when it ends
It ends"
Maybe
Understanding of human existence
And meaning in humanity
Needs only be as simple as that

Our awareness of death is one of the burdens of being human -- it is the price of consciousness.
