Why are we here? What is the ultimate goal?? Should one live ones life with gusto, not caring what we do might hurt someone else, the next generation, ourselves. The S&M folks go to the limits for pain/pleasure. Daredevils risk it all and sometimes lose. Others live to be 100 or better but live a sedate life.
Not everyone can be in the "Limelight", and some may not want to be. I am pretty happy knowing that my friends can't wait to come to my house for a party. I am pretty happy knowing that my daughter (and her darling husband) love me. I wish I could lose weight but that becomes harder with age.
And speaking of age, I have definitely gotten to that stage in my life where I must realistically prepare for "departure". I am not ready to go, don't want to go. But I am on blood pressure pills and cholesterol medication. My dad and my brother both died of heart conditions. My sister and other brother died of cancer. Neither are wonderful choices. I have a horrible suspicion that my mother could easily out live me. Somedays I think going might be better than staying with her. But I have more than her in my life so I really want to stay as long as possible.
So as to "what's it all about?" I think it is about today and tomorrow, yesterday is done with. It is about my daughter, my nephews, my neighbors, my friends. Until we die it is about what is around us and what we do each day, but we should try to be good to each other and the earth so that just in case there is something going on after we die...............
