Although we know it and probably are always yelling it out in an explanatory tone in most cases to someone close, that, we have just 'one life to live' and we wanna live it well.... The point in question is; Do we really do it? or are we just lead into this thought process of how it should be and end up not doing what we really intend too.
'The lost soul searches... searches for something to call its own' (i just came up with this...)
The basic human need (in the broader sense) is that of being loved and without it, we live our lives in the state of mind called 'loneliness', I refer to loneliness as a state of mind, cos come to think of it, even at a party with so many people around, your mind still wanders, to be elsewhere or to be with someone else or whatever runs in your mind and I am not saying it happens with everyone, it does, maybe to a few or in some cases more of us, but all we'll ever do to make it right is do as we're told or influenced by, seldom do we listen to that voice deep down there, for if we do, then we pondering over what others will think about the same.
The good part of life is; we all get to live.
The not so good part is; we're not going to come out alive.
So what can one really do to live that life well; Perhaps to begin with take time to oneself (which we seldom do) and slowly start to listening to that voice within, because that voice knows your soul, and knowing your soul is knowing your true self, and your true self can only be beautiful, because if it weren't then, the most basic need (in the broader sense) would never be love. And so why shouldn't that inner beauty be seen, known and loved for what it really is. Why the make up of perception from the outer reign. Perhaps these few lines running thru my head should sum them all up:
You were born to make each day count,
So live it up, cos ur not paying an amount.
For its a gift from the hand that giveth,
That life was given only once to liveth.
Cheers :)
