Life before Death.

This came to me last night. A sudden epiphany rattled my brain, it was about life. What makes life something so amazing as it is? Death.

Death is a beautiful thing. Because it makes damn sure that we cannot take this life for granted. Death is what makes life beautiful. This is why we should appreciate every single living thing around us so much more. Because death will soon enough take it away from us. It even takes ourselves from us.

Sometimes I feel like an idiot for arguing over the smallest things, when instead I could just be happy, forgive, move on and be grateful for everything that is only temporarily around me.

Death is nothing to be feared. When you die, you lose your body, but that's all. You are still very alive and beating in all your friends and families hearts. As long as you have marked hearts of the ones you care about. You will never really be dead.

Take Leonardo Da Vinci. Died hundreds of years ago. But his art, his passions are still very alive to this day. He lives on. And so do we.

"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
