Forever?

The word 'forever' is an adverb meaning; "without ever ending; eternally" or "continually; incessantly; always". To put it more commonly, forever is for an indefinite period of time.

By not it must be empirically clear to everyone that nothing last forever - everything has an end. Trees are torn down to build homes, storms and fires come along and destroy the homes. We live to a certain age then we die, we obtain wealth then lose it or pass it on. The friendships we enjoy today can be eroded into adversity tomorrow. Bottom line, everything has an end.

If we understand that everything has an end, and we can accept this as a certainty, then why do he have such a difficult time accepting the end. When relationships end, we usually feel that life is over, yet we knew it could not last forever. When our loved ones die, we theatrically express our sadness, yet we knew they could not be with us forever. When our employment comes to an end, we start to distribute blame which is sometimes coupled with rage, even though we knew that it could not last forever. For some reason the end is never easy to accept.

One of the reasons the end is never easy to accept is that its timing often takes us by surprise. The solution to this is to simply live each day to its fullest while preparing for the end. Your job won't last forever, so what did you do with the income you earned yesterday? Your lives and relationships won't last forever, so how many memories are you building today. By enjoying life now and preparing for tomorrow, you give yourself a peace of mind that just might defeat the odds and last forever. The key is not to regret the end, but to make happiness last forever.
