As ive become older i look at life through wiser eyes and listen more with hearing ears . Im not inclined to talk as much as im bored with my own voice so i like hearing peoples life stories much more than my own , unless im asked of course .

Ive learned that everyone has an incredible story to listen to.
Ive learned that im the only one i can depend on
Ive learned many people will come into and leave my life
Ive learned not to be lonely and to feel comfortable in being myself

For me its been a journey of learning in lifes university , that i was never anymore special then anyone else , i know this human life is a very small part of my existance and there will be more

I love the way as an older person i can see life around me repeating itself , i look into the eyes of my beautiful grandaughtets and see my past

Theres more , so much more , but its nice to share it with my girlies and a bottle of wine

I suppose it gives you a different perspective if you do believe there is more than the life on this Earth

I think you might be right on that one.......

I honestly believe that once we are gone, we have no memory of it, so it doesn't matter what we do or don't achieve so long as we are content. The most anyone can do is to leave a mark on society so that you are remembered by others.

Re: The Meaning of life....

The only meaning of life that i think counts is that it's not about us. We mistakenly put ourselves at the centre of everything and then wonder why we aren't as happy as we thought we would be.

Most people are only remembered by family & friends, as the person who's died has gone, I don't believe there is anything else, you die & that's it.
