Imagine that you are not yet born and you are made the following offer. You can choose to live and you will experience wonderful things. You will feel summer breezes, falling snow, and the sand between your toes. You will love others and feel their warm embrace and they yours. You will smell smells, hear music, the rustle of leaves, and many other wonderful things. You will see sunrises and sunsets, you will laugh, you will wonder and feel the rush of curiosity and learning.
You will also feel pain. You will suffer injuries of various physical and emotional types, cuts, bruises, perhaps a broken bone, disappointment, heartbreak,or even paralysis for the remainder of your life. You will see others suffer and die and ultimately you too will cease to exist.
Will you take the deal?
Look around you, each of us did.
The bright, winter white outside convinces me that I got the deal of a lifetime. This was beautiful, David. I like your descriptives. Sending you peace, love and hope this holiday season. I think of you often.
