The beginning to the end!!!

As I pass by numerous beautiful homes, I often wonder who resides there and whether their lives differ from others. But what I think about more is what happens when we all die.

Is it truly worthwhile to purchase something knowing it will eventually be destroyed? Reflecting on the past and witnessing all the people who have passed away, along with everything they left behind, gets me puzzled.

Life is wonderful as a child, with no worries, spending time in the streets, getting dirty with friends, riding bikes, and doing wheelies. However, as one grows older, it's important to graduate from college and stay out of legal trouble.

Life truly begins when you have accomplished so much. From a young age, people start saving money to buy material homes and begin a family. But is it all worth it? After all, everyone has to pay taxes to the federal government to maintain that property.

But what happens when you die? Who will inherit everything you've worked so hard to achieve? If you have children who find success, they might not want what you leave them. In the end, everything you owned will probably be sold or taken by the government. So, what is the point of becoming successful if it will all disappear in a blink of an eye one day?

I was in my twenties when I met an elderly man who shared with me that he had donated all his belongings to a church, as he didn't want to leave anything to his children. I was taken aback by this revelation, but was it the right decision?

I'm assuming it was due to free will. All the success only for him to disappear without a trace when he passed away. Don't misunderstand me; life is amazing when you're young and unafraid of death. However, for those who are, it's incredibly frightening. I suppose that's why Botox and plastic surgery were created.

People fear aging and appearing old. I've lost numerous friends at a young age, and even now, I continue to lose more. So, whatever choices you make once we're gone, ensure they align with what you truly desire in your heart.

Remain humble and treat others kindly, as we cannot know what challenges someone may be facing in their life. Many people struggle to survive, some face difficulties due to their sexuality, and others have trouble finding employment. Ultimately, we all encounter struggles at various times.

Always embrace every opportunity to love and express your feelings to those you care about, because when you least expect it, you or they might no longer be there.
