Love is a decision, a free exercise of choice... two people love each other only when they are quiet capable of living without each other but choose to live with each other.

Life is Short

No matter how successful one is, or how famous, there comes a time when he passes on. He's like a ship going through the ocean.

Isn't that life is all about, each passing through? Why lament over the things you wanted and never got? Why lament over what could have been when it is all passing? Right now, you are not the person you were a half hour ago. We are one half hour closer to the journey's end. For some this is a distressing thought. Why is it that we find death so depressing? We can imagine everyone dying except ourselves. Have we lost sight of this world being a pilgrimage? It's a journey. You're not home yet. A Christian must never lose sight of this passing reality of life; and it should be faced with peace, not a constant surprise.
