APPRECIATING LIFE
There is a play called Our Town, and in it a young woman dies. As the play progresses, it happens that she is allowed by God to return to earth t re-live one day of her life. The day she chooses is her twelfth birthday.
A few hours into the day, she cries out “I can’t, I can’t go on. It goes so fast. We don’t have time to look at one another…Oh earth, you’re too beautiful for anyone to realize.” Then, with tears in her eyes she asks, “Do human beings ever realize life while they live it?” A voice answers her, ‘No. The saints and poets maybe – they do sometimes.”
v If you really want to appreciate something have it taken away from you, and when you have lost it, have it then restored to you.
v A tragedy of life is to reach the end and realize I never really live; I settled for existing.
v Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.
