Life

Repeating those famous words from a Tupac song: Why am i trying to live if am just living to die". Isn't life funny? We spend our whole lives trying to accomplish material possesions forgetting that we are leaving them all behind possibly for family members to fight over. So why am i trying to live if am just living to die? Why do i wake up nearly every morning and go to work even when i don't want to? Do i really have to make that money? It has been engrained in our system from before our time that this is the way our life will be. Those fortunate enough will receive a thorough education, get a good job build that house and eventually die in it. I always wonder why God made us to be so monotonous and live such repetitive lifestyle, generation after generation. Are we his little pawns? Is this really why he created us. Well of course you know i have not received and answer to those questions and i have learnt from my grandparents and the little bit of teaching i have gathered from church to not question God and accept things as they are. I was only prompted to write this blog because I was on bet.com looking at a recap of 2008. What stood out to me was all those so called "legends" that died this past year leaving all of their glory and riches behind. Was that what we were meant to do? I just stared at their pictures and tried to think of how their life must have been when they were alive. Most of the pictures had smiling faces.Was that day the greatest moments of their lives? Did they think they would live forever? Did the thought of death cross their minds? Well most of my questions are rhetorical because i think the people with the answers are long gone into dust. But of course i was simply wondering.
