To Make A Difference?

The King of Pop has kicked the bucket. I cannot profess I am that much a fan of his, although I do like quite a number of his songs. Still, his death came as a shock to the world, although from his lifestyle, perhaps it would happen sooner or later. Okay, I am not here to judge since someone has died, and with death, all things should be forgiven (at least I hope so!).However, there is but a fine thin line between life and death. Christians believe that God created us, God gave us our lives, so when the time comes, God would take us back. We meet our Creator upon death. Whether we go to heaven or hell depends on how we lead our lives. Even for those who are not Christians or who have no religion whatsoever, it is still good to do as much good as you can and live our lives to the fullest.

Some people want to make as much money as they can in this lifetime. True, financial security is good. Materialism is good to a certain extent, but at the end, whatever riches and wealth we have accumulated cannot be taken with us upon death. With our busy lives, we often neglect the basic core of our existence - health, love and happiness. We often procrastinate until it is too late.

Imagine if one is on the dying bed, and flashes of his life go running through his head. He may wonder what he had done in this lifetime. He may be a millionaire, lived to be a centenarian, but there is no family or friends at his side. Then he wonders where can he leave his massive fortune to, who had he shared his happiness and sadness with all his life.

So it is up to each of us to make a difference. Do you want to live a long but lonely and desolate life, or do you want to live a short, yet enriching and fulfilling life? I think each of us has our own answers. :-)
