Life is Short

The other day, I came across this beautiful massage in the book of psalms that remind me how short the life is.

“Lord, in yor eyes a thousand years are like yesterday come and gone, no more than a watch in the night. You Sweep men away like a dream, like grass which springs up and flowers, by evening withers and fades. Our span is seventy years, or eighty for those who are strong. And most of these are emptiness and pain, they pass quickly and we are gone. Make us know tha shortness of our life, that we may gain wisdom of heart.”

Life is short. This is the truth we often choose to forget. We live as though we would never die. People who cling to power at all cost, who spend their waking hours amassing wealth, who wantonly seek for pleasure that money can buy, are actually afraid to die. They have transmuted their fear of death into an insatiable quest for fame, fortune, and sensual enjoyment. They make life shorter by many senseless acts of forgetfulness. For instance, they forget the distinction between the urgent and the important, the trivial and the essential, the transistory and permanent, the valuable and the worthless. They spend their prcious time worrying about past mistakes and future bankruptcy, forgetting to see the unrepeatable opporunities for happiness in the present moment.

Life is short . This is a truth that is frequently unwelcome because it is sacry. We would rather see Death as the death of someone else than ours. This is the reality and we cannot do nothing about it so we have to live our life to the fullest. Spend your life by following God’s will. Gos have his reason for everything and he knows what’s good for us and whats not.
