 Do you live life to the fullest?
I would like to say I do but I always find myself complaining about little stupid things like how much I have to read for next day at school and all the papers I have to write in less than a week, how much I don't have much of a social life etc.
However, I've taken things in consideration of what I should do and how I should live my life. On the day the Virginia Tech massacre, my sweet religious ethic professor talked to the class about it. He's also a minister at the univeristy. Anyway, he talked about how he was heartbroken over the fact that these young people who died was not just a loss to their families, but potential. These kids could have revolutionized the world; they could have been someone's soul mate in some moment of time in the future; they could have been the next president;their children or their children's children could have found a cure for cancer and AIDS, but it will never happen. I never thought of it like that before. It really put a lot of things in perspective for me. Even during Columbine the only thing I thought of was how scared the students were and how horrible it is to lose a child.
He concluded by saying that we should tell a close friend or family member, "I'm glad you are here." Since then, I try to tell myself how lucky I am to be alive and how much potential I have. I feel terrible for not feeling this way before.
Anybody here ever convince yourself you are doing the best you can with your life, but instead procrastinate a lot?
