Life

     Many take life for granted.  Rushing by, forgetting to stop, look, listen; take notice for what is around them. We tend to fill our lives, so that way we are always living in a rush, never stopping.  We let the little things slip by us, as we concentrate on much larger ideas.  We let those who are close disappear, and by the time we realize that they are gone, it is too late to get them back.  It is a hard concept to grasp.  Yet it is one that we all must come to understand.  Life, is not a bed of roses, nor is it a feild of thorn bushes.  Life, is life.  It is what we do daily; we live.  Some running about, some sitting around.  The thing is, do we take a second to look around us, to see what has been given to us?  To listen to the sounds of the world?  To take a moment to breathe?  If only there was a way to take away parts of the world, one by one.  To see if anyone really notices.  To see if anyone really cares.  It may seems as though life is is just itself, but thats just it.  No one can really understand the true meaning of life, until they have been through it all; right from the beginning.  From the moment the Earth was created, to the moment it is destroyed.  For someone to live that long, imposible.  So how are we to understand such a diffcult concept, such as life?
