Is life really too short?

Let's think about it!

So one thing that has been popping up on my mind recently is "how life is too short" and that you should love it to the fullest.

But it's not just that, I've been seeing things like" life is too short to exercise, life is too short to live healthy and self improvement".

Some of my relatives, when they see me spend minimal money (mostly because I'm very cheap and like collecting money). Tell me "how life is too short to collect money and that I should spend it while I can".

I also heard this quote that says:

" Live life like you will live forever, and live life like you will die tomorrow".

And this really got stuck to me and it motivated me to write this article which brings about the topic: "Is life really too short?"

Well.... We need to talk about"life " here. Though it's so deep and complex but just to enlighten us more on life and it's meaning.

What's the meaning of life?

While there are many answers to this question (some from religious or from our perspectives), I believe that life can just be defined with one word: "RESPONSIBILITY".

Everyone, when they come into this world, they have a responsibility. Everyone has a "load" to carry. Some might have bigger loads while some might have smaller loads. What's important is that you carry your load.

This is the only way in my opinion that we as a society can move forward. If we were to take away responsibility, then;

• What are we really doing or rather what should we be doing?

• Society will crumble.

But why is this important to the conversation? Well, when one says" life is too short to........" well they are basically saying no to responsibilities. Which in other words would mean saying no to the meaning of life.

And I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun. You should have fun from time to time. But don't substitute your responsibilities for fun. You need to have a long term plan. You need to contribute to the society in one way or the other.

However, I would say that the whole " life is too short to...." argument can be used when we're taking about stress. Life is too short to stress and anxious. You have one body and one of your responsibilities is to take care of that body. Because you can't take care of your body when there's stress.

So to answer the question above at hand, remember;

Life of too short to waste it! Make sure that when you leave this world, it has gotten a bit much better (because of you!) than what it was when you came in.

Thanks for passing by to read. Hope we learnt something new today? And I would love to see your views on this in the comments section down here.
