Your better off dead.

A person dies. All of his life ahead of him. I'm sure he planned to buy a new car or marry someone pretty or have 10 kids. Maybe he wanted to help people in misery and do something for the greater good. Maybe he wanted little things like hot coffee on a cold evening or warm food on the table. Maybe all he wanted was comfort in life. But he dies before any of that happened. That's how unpredictable life is. Everyone's going to die sooner or later but we take it for granted that we have at least 40 more years ahead of us. We have at least the stage where we get to see our grandchildren. Or we get so many wrinkles that the dimples once admired are hardly recognisable.
My mom comes home and complains about how her day was bad. How her bones ache because of the patients she had to check in the hospital. I complain about how the money I spent on highlights is a waste since my hair looks horrible. Another person has the cheek to call up and criticise photos of family members posted on Facebook. One person I knows comes home and is too greedy to finish all the Danish pastries in his kitchen. One girl gets sad for no reason.
The difference between the one dead and the ones alive ?.. We really must be unfortunate enough to complain about the fact that we still have life. We have dreams. We have blood and oxygen. We have a life to complain about. We won't look at how lucky we are or our loved ones or friends are. We will just mope and bitch about everyone and everything. We are critics for lack of something , anything better to do.
If we can't cherish what we have we will never be able to give. Not to ourselves or our families or to the world. We can't afford a smile because its too expensive for our ego. Maybe we should start earning for what we really need to buy.
Cheerio :)
