Mysteries of Life

I've always thought of myself as a bit of the "philosopher." Most of my conclusions are pretty convoluted and would only make sense to an alien visitor, but that's another story... (Do the terms "alternate reality" and "chupacabra" mean anything to you?)

It is amazing to me how wrapped up we get in the moment by moment, whining and complaining about this minutia, while missing the big picture -- the BIG story. Come on, people...It is appointed unto men once to die and then comes judgment.

The biggest mystery of life is that we all will die. Pretty much a sure thing; a done deal.

A close second to that is the simple fact that we are mainly water, carbon, and a mixture of other stuff lifeforms that think and feel and emote and the like. There is micro-electical currents pushing through our nervous systems, powering our vital organs, our conversion of carbs into energy, convert oxygen into carbon di-oxide. Every breath represents a virtual metamorphosis of animation.

We think, therefore we are. We breathe, therefore we be. We die, therefore we live.

I am faced with a choice -- to live or to die.

Live!
