In the movie Troy, Achilles said: “Everything’s more beautiful because we’re doomed.”
For Poem, scroll down directly but I hope you read the entire post.
Now as horrifying or negative it may sound, it is in fact one of the most beautiful truths of life. I have always wondered why do we care so much about things that come with a time clock, things which with each passing second transverse towards its end. Things such as: Youth, Glory, Money, Possessions (House/Cars/Clothes etc.)
Yes, no doubt they are important for us to live and I am not here to debate or play high and mighty that we should not focus on them. We should but tell me one thing reader,
Do you ever think that you will lose them one day?
Do you ever think that this beauty and grace of your youth will fade one day?
Do you ever think that your glory will be forgotten one day?
And, do you ever think that the possessions which so proudly possess will one day become someone else’s’ ?
I am sure most of you don’t and why would you?, It’s a very saddening thought and we are too busy with the present, is exactly what you would have told yourself.
Are we, HUMANS, always busy with the present? Or, always planning for the future?
I hope you read the below lines and find out what I am trying to show.

While we thrive on today, we sure think of tomorrow,
Did tomorrow ever say, there won’t be any sorrow?
Meanwhile we fix happiness in something we borrow,
The crux of possession is nothing but hollow.
So enjoy what you possess but remember this law,
Time gives only to withdraw.
And that exempts everything from flaw.
Tomorrow will never see what today saw.
