On Gaining a Future

As I sit here contemplating the meaning of life it ever so subtly occured to me that life must be cast away. Not the hope of life itself but the actual living of life. We sacrifice the present in order to gain the future but life itself is lived in the present. That is a huge forfeiture.

We have to postpone gratification and often times happiness in order that one day we may gain a future that allows us to die in a comfortable bed with those whom we share love with abiding by our side. We must do as a tree does in the winter and decide that it is better to die temporarily in order to live in the future we hope for.

But sometimes during hibernation the tree gets chopped down never to awaken again. Life is suffering and the meaning of life can be found in the process of attaining goals and accepting responsibility not the confirmed fulfillment of either. I wish you all happiness and success and may it be easy to achieve.
