So very true
Have you ever thought about this?
In 100 years like in 2123 we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.
Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.
Our descendants will hardly or hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?
After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.
If we paused one day to analyse these questions, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all was.
If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.
Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. I'd change all this to live and enjoy the walks I've never taken, these hugs I didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.
And some of us waste it day after day with greed, selfishness and intolerance.
Every minute of life is priceless and will never be repeated, so take time to enjoy, be grateful for, and celebrate your existence.
Just want to say a huge thank you to Andy Knott for his 6 & half years as CEO of League Against Cruel Sports. He brought much needed energy & leadership to the wildlife protection sector in the most difficult of political & economic times. His legacy will be a very good one & I wish him all best for the future @budsandberts@LeagueACS@BornFreeFDN@RSPCA@FOURPAWSUK @HSIUKorg @AnimalAid
I just signed the open letter demanding that Rishi Sunak gives Frank Hester's £15 million donation to anti-racism charities. Will you sign too? https://t.co/WFIMjV5bBV
Jon Moynihan donated over £700,000, Liz Truss nominated him to the Lords and today is his first day. If that makes your blood boil, you can sign the petition here: https://t.co/d6iI33rzrq
A landslide proportion of Co-op members voted to stop the cruel use of fast-growing chickens who are bred to suffer. Yet you're spending millions on the 'Cop-Out Live' arena instead of doing a good thing for animals? @Smccarthyfry #CopOutLive
