My Sister's Question.

August 27, 2007 10:05am CST
My sister who is 12 years old asked me question minutes ago. "Ate, 2074-2007=what?" she asked. I told her I dont know and she said "i thought you are smart. And i asked her why are you asking she answered me im just researching.. and i told her the answer is 67. "Oh my gosh i got 67 years to live! That was her reaction and told her that "Isel, dont think about that go to sleep". But as i analyzed her question it popped up in my mind what about my parents how many more years they got to live in this world.. and how about me??how many years i got to live... i was so consumed with school and earning money that i tend to forget the essence of being a human being. the life we have in this world is just borrowed and i have reflected and do some assessment of all the 22 years of existence what i have done to contribute to the goodness of the human race?? and i cant think of any.. i think its time to reassess myself and try to mend broken relationships between my parents and i, my sisters and i, my friends and i, my boyfriend and i. and be WHOLE AGAIN..coz i will never know when will this precious life of mine will be taken by God. i hope i had enlightened your minds as well...

It is interesting why your sister picked exactly 2074? And what makes her think that exactly this deduction will be the result of how long will she live.
