SANDHOUSES.


We all know that we most times get thrilled when we dont know the end of an event or situation. we wait patiently to see how it all rounds up, most times we wait anxiously at other times we wait with excitements. But the great thing is, we know how the the most important thing in the world is going to end! We know how our life is going to end! Am not talking about afterlife but only life here on earth.

But when it comes to life its a different ball game all together, we all know that we are going to die someday, so why are we so thrilled about life? we know the end of any life is death, we know the begining is birth, its easy to analyse any life......you are born, you live, and you die.
I figured out that when it comes to life,the most important factor is not the end,its not the beginning no! its in the living!
The quality of life is determined by how the life was lived.

I read a story somewhere that compares life to kids building sand houses on the beach, they use there bucket,parkers and stuffs...mould the house on the shore and wait for the ocean tides to come sweep the house away,and when the evening comes they park their tools run to their dad,take his hand and go home happily.
Only if adults can live life like kids building sand houses on the beach..but in contrast, adults build different castles,buy toys keep the sand house lively and when the evening comes and the ocean tide is approaching, they fret, try to secure and keep their sand house from harms way,trying to aviod the destruction by the tide, you see them worried and disturbed hoping the tide would stop,so they can keep their precious sand house!

Both adults and kids know that when the evening comes the tide will come,the difference as kids is we are ready to go home cos we know the tide would destroy the house,but as adult we are never ready to leave,we are trying to avoid the inevitable.

Now both kids and adults know the end,but each reacts differently to it,one is ready and the other isnt......the end is known..the living is the most important. We all know the end!
