This Crazy Idea We Call Life

Life.

Something given to everyone, but never thought about much by anyone.

It is amazing, really. 

Amazing that we are all here. Living. 

Creating societies, coming up with new ideas. Constantly. 

As people who started with nothing, it is amazing that we have so much. 

Where did this all come from? Everything is perfect. Think about it.

We are living on an earth that revolves around a sun. 

It is not close enough to burn, but not far enough away to freeze. 

It is perfect. It has everything we need to live on it. And so much more. 

It has so many little things for us to enjoy. 

Like sunsets and trees and shooting stars and mountains.

It has so many horrible things happen to it. 

But somehow, we continue on with life. 

There are other people on earth. 

With different ideas, beliefs, and backgrounds.

All with the same goal. To live a happy life.

We can communicate with each other. 

Find others with our same beliefs and ideas.

We can make friends. 

People who we think we couldn't find anywhere else in the world.

But somehow, we are placed in the same place at the same time. 

And maybe if we didn't see them in that split second.

Maybe if one thing was changed, nothing would have turned out the way it is. 

We are given families.Who are there to care for us and help us. 

And somehow, they spend years with us without getting too sick of us.

We are given so many freedoms and opportunities. 

So many things we don't even take time to think about. 

Everything around us is so perfect. 

Everything always seems to work out. 

So the question. What is life? 

And how did things work out to be just the way they are? 

I would like this answer. But I have no idea. 

I continue life like everyone else. Hoping one day I might know. 

Not trying to find the answer anywhere. Because no one is sure. 

Maybe one day we will understand something.
