Life is short...

Life is really very short, how do I say so not long ago our grandparents,parents, siblings, relatives, friends, acquaintances or people that are popular seem to be around all the time and some of us neglects this kind presence but not all does. For me it is just sad that time goes bye so quickly and in a blink of an eye some of those we know are already with God and that time could had been spent much better with them so that they would feel the way we wanted them to feel so let us cherish the people we love so that we do not leave any chance for regret.

Yes it is strange how when you are young time goes so slow, but as you get older especially after you turn about 25 years old, time seems to go a little faster and then as you get older it speeds up, it is a bit scary when you look back and think how fast even the last five years went.

Yes, I want to agree with this. When I was young time really seems slow, I don't know the reason why? I also feel it. When I turned 20 and started working, time seems to go so fast although I see that so many things happened within the span of 10 years. For me 3 years is so fast, you see a baby one time and then after 3 years their grown up so fast. Life is indeed short, I remember a friend who I just meet 3 years ago and is very active and now he is gone. I am 30 years old now, I assume I still have 50 or more years to live.

There are chemicals in our brain that assist in how we perceive time. As you get older it usually slows down and time seems like it goes faster and faster.

As we grow older, increase the knowledge, the more we know the faster the time goes on until time is no more enough for all the things we want to do thus we conclude life is so short when we reach a certain age as 25 years old average.Unlike childhood, we know less but earn so many questions that we want to know the answer through experience thus time for us as a kid is so slow because we believe we could know the answers if we reach a certain age and that is approximately at age of 25 years.Whew, I just type these words as I am talking in front of lilaclady.

Hello, deodavid. Time flies and before we know it, it's time to bid goodbye. Let's cherish today and build precious memories that will live on long after we're gone. Let me mention one simple example. Today, I'm taking care of the fruit and vegetable garden in my backyard. Three days ago, I planted two pineapples. When I searched for information on the internet, I learned that it takes about 24 months for it to bear fruits. Now, how would I know if I am going to be around by then. But, because of this, my loved ones would have at least one thing to reminisce when I'm gone. Live each moment to the fullest, my friend and let God be your Navigator throughout.

Bamikalipal wow what a great way to live thinking that in your lifetime you have worked on building something and knowing for a fact that you have also built relationships around and that when you pass this earth someone you know will take care of what you leave behind, now that my friend is what we call legacy and this is proof that people cherish what you cherish when your gone. excellent my friend just excellent example.

Indeed, life can rather going to be able to pass us by in a rather quick manner. There are just a lot of times where as we grow older, we are going to see a lot more of our life right in the rear view mirror. There are just many times where we are going to see that life is going to in fact moving forward just a little bit more each and every minute. Life will go on regardless of how much we want to slow it down. So cherish every minute of life when we in fact can. Life is rather more than short to say the least. Even the most long lived of all of us are going to rather find life rather flashing right before us. It can be gone right in a snap. There are just times where life has rather passed most of us by. Hopefully we can get the most of life right when we can. It is short and it will go by rather fast.

It is like watching the outside of a window from a train and you see different parts of your life happening you can try to ask the train driver to slow down but he won't since time is essential like our lives it is important to make sure that we use it very well and enjoy like watching the view from a train if you don't enjoy it your trip would had been boring and meaningless.

Indeed life is short, my friend. Hence it is but proper that we should let our love ones feel our love to them. Praise them for good works. Hug them or let them feel important whenever you can. If you can, tell them i love you as often as you can, because if they die, they will never know how much after all you really love them.

Really truly. Lets share every good moment with our relatives and family. I live far from my parents but , when I lived in my country I used to go every sunday to visit them and hollydays. When I feel lonely I think of those happy moments and I rejoy them and smile. I will pray for the next year go back to my country to visit and remember all those good moments with the people I love. Yes , life is so short , we dont know if they or we are going to have tomorrow. God bless you mylot friend.

Life goes by so quickly... For instance, the past year seems to hav just flown away. I can't believe it's already gone. And the days, the weeks, everything. It's Monday, and then you just wake up again and it's Friday and so on. This is so sad, because I don't seem to have enough time to do all the things i would like to.

I felt that time goes very quickly. It may be because I was working every day. I never realized that time runs very quick until I was aware that it's the time to stop from doing something. I have hardly not time to talk to even my parents in addition they are quite a distance. I only am communicated with them when I really got time to do that.

My friend you and i share the same sentiments and I assure you that it is really hard to communicate to people we love especially when they are away but again life is too short to leave everything to chance and not grab the opportunity to tell our loved ones what we truly feel so i suggest call your parents or lovedones and let them know what you feel, aight....

Yes now life is short and no one know what will happen in next moment. More accidents cases are happening and lots of people dying at a time. Now God not blessings us but they want to call us.
9 Dec 11
yup, our chance to live and breathe in this world just once. so it's better for us to do the things positive for our wonderful life so that there is no regret for future. i wanna fill my life with doing something meaningful and give more charity. so,the point is do better and be better every time.

Yes do good and be good, that is our motto for this subject well let me be on the same page with you so let's be people that do the right and good things so that when we pass we pass the right way and so that we are remembered positively more than negatively less.
