Life is short, so appreciate it

Recently there are a lot of sad news around me, and it usually involve the worst matters in life: Accident, Sickness and even Death. Yes, death of someone dearing, death of someone who is not bonded relationship, and even the death of a young one that even didn't ever see sunlight. It actually did surprise me that this year (in fact just within this 2 months) that there are so many life and death issues that surrounds me.

Believe it or not, the matters of life and death always happens around us. I'm not in the medical line, where everyday death is just a matter of life itself. And I would actually ponder on the fact that everyday there are a lot of people tries to suicide by taking overdose panadol (thank you Katherine for sharing this with me). All these incidents, do really makes me rethink of the value of life.

Keeps on thinking, is life short? Ants usually live around 90 days, dogs around 7 years, panda around 20-30 years, and human beings? Well, you know for yourself. Some might say, life is still short, and not enough time to do whatever they want. Some might say vice versa, that the life is too long, and they wish to end it to move on to the next phrase. As for me? I would be in the first group.

Think of your love ones and those in care for you. Take care. And may those beloved ones Rest In Peace.

Life is Short, by John Reuben
Come on everybody, it's about that time
Come on everybody, it's about that time
Come on everybody, it's about that time

This life is short, don't waste it
This life is what you make it
This life is short, don't waste it
This life is what you make it

Don't call it jiggy
Call it danceable
Throw out a beat to fill the dance floor
I'll be on the side just sittin' and watchin'
Happy and content vicariously rockin' 
It's great to be alive and well
Still in the capitol where I reside and dwell
So tell me if you hear me loud and clearly
Reality's just a bit more near me
So we make the most of every given minute
Here's a jam for the world and the 7 billion in it
Limits we know not
Don't really want to stop
Go-getter's get what they got by goin' for it
Caught in this crazy mix over the years
Learned some tricks
Throw 'em on my records just for kicks
And it's obvious that if it's what God gives
See we gotta keep the energy positive 

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

Hey, every new day brings a new day
To say thank you and relay my gratitude
For the time I've been given
Listen been given permission to embrace the rhythm
So live a little
Come on, breathe a little
Tell me, who wants to rhyme for close-minded people?

Not I 
Okay good, me neither
This here feature won't follow procedure
Instead, the forecast includes a brainstorm
With elastic thinking to help me stretch the norm
Life's too short for me to conform
Daily renewal helps me transform
And live life to the utmost
Here's a toast to the future
Faith, love and hope
And all the things that truly remain and exist
It goes a little something like, like

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

Come on
Yeah
So, I'm thinkin' life... is... anyways... bring it back

Life's too short 
To have enemies
I make no apologies for being friendly
Life's too short 
To live in poverty
I'm not talking money, I'm talking mentally 
Cause I've been broke and at the same time happy
I'm well aware of my history
So I approach life a little more humbly
Cause being full of yourself will leave you empty 

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is short, don't waste it
This life is what you make it

This life is short, don't waste it
This life is what you make it
