Grand Canyon

Every cloud has a silver lining... so quote of the deek is...
"Sorrow's silver lining is that it makes great writers." -James Newman

Grand Canyon

A doctor once told me I feel to much. I said 'So does God, that's why you can see the Grand Canyon from the Moon.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What would he tell the people that don't feel enough? The people that try to write love and acceptance on their arms because they'd rather feel pain than feel nothing at all? Would he write a prescription? Or would he tell them to go see the Grand Canyon?

He'd write a prescription.

But the only thing a pill can make you feel is the feeling of it sliding down your throat. All a pill's contents swimming through your veins can make you feel is side effects. One isn't enough. There's never enough until the bottle is empty and the heart stops beating. It's never enough until they're sitting on the Moon with God, admiring the Grand Canyon.

Live is an adjective, verb, and adverb. It is undoubtedly in every dictionary published. There are movies, songs, books, plays, etc., just about life. Yet... people don't know the true meaning of it. You ask somebody on the street what their definition of life is, and it'll probably be 'To have life, to live'. Asking a 90 year old war veteran, however, is a completely different story. The reason few people know the true meaning of life is because you can't truly know what it means to live, until you have truly met death. Tragic, yet... ironic, isn't it?

When things are going bad we always tell ourselves 'Well, at least things can't get any worse.' Well I, can count on both hands times that they did. Life works in funny ways, but who am I to complain? Everything that happens is for a reason. Everything that happens helps shape us into who we are. Everything bad that happens makes us appreciate life more, when its going good. Every minute of every day, we are dying. Every second that goes by brings us closer to the end. So why aren't we all living like we're dying? Because if you think about it... aren't we?
