The importance of life.

by Rey Severs   Jun 30, 2014


We always are learning. From the moment we're conceived.

First, we learned breathing, we learned how to move...so small and helpless, we were born in this world only knowing the very basics. We were born with nothing.

As we grew, we learned how to walk, touch, smell, taste and hear. As we grew older, we learned how to read and write, how to do sums...then we move on, and work until we die, learning from the good times, the bad times, the unexpected. We then move on to teach, although still learning.

And, as we die, if we learned enough, lived enough, we will have others crying as we depart. Again, as we were born with nothing...we die with nothing.

All we ever truly gain from life is memories. Cherish and learn from every single one.

It is a relief to know..that the man in a business suit, with the mansion, wife and 3 loving children, the man who never struggled, who has a high education....to the homeless man who suffered, who has no children, no home, only the clothing on his back...they will both die the same, with nothing but memories.

and such...is life.
