The cycle

In the symposium of life, time is the unyielding force that flows through joy, misery, disappointment and hope; stopping for none. The happy days we badly want to immortalize are beyond the bounds of feasibility.
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts."
- William Shakespeare
Your exit from the stage of life should be memorable and not doleful. The cycle of life has its entry and exit points and there's nothing we can do about it.
We should live our lives the way we want to be remembered later on, after our demise. After all, no mortal can escape the cycle of birth death and rebirth.
Just felt like writing this.
How many of you here think about your own death? What are some things that you would like to do before dying?

@anya12adwi I don't think normal people can buy it just over-the-counter.

I think about it. I'm 76 and all I want now is a quiet and peaceful life.

Well written as always. Unless one is a celebrity once one leaves the world they are soon forgotten We must do good for our own sake and not to leave behind memories.

Yeah that's true. Maybe close family members will remember but ofcourse most people will immediately forget
