THOUGHTS ON LIFE
Its amazing how quickly life passes by and you dont even notice it. It seems as only a couple years ago we were kids making grand plans for the future.When you plan something for some reason it seems to always go wrong ,as if the whole world is against you. Things tend to run alot smoother when we just let it happen natrual,with no thought or planning..funny how it works out.Most people say lifes short,live life while you can!..if you ask me i think the other way around.Lifes to long,its a long and painful journey that most of us dont wanna make..some of us are just to afriad or dont want to admit it, but not me. Certin ways of death brings thoughts in our head and can be very terrifying,in which case can cause some type of fear,but death itself should be nothing to fear,because after all whats after death? Its been a argument that has been going on for centurys,is there life after death? What happens when we die? Majority of the people belive in a higher purpose,some supreme being who well gudie them to the other side..and some belive that when your gone,your simply gone. The decision of a lifetime..to belive or not to belive, that is the true quiestion? What if we were to make the wrong choice? For the people who belive i think that is what scares them the most,not dying but being judge after death.I for one have not been the "perfect" person in life,nor have i tried.Life for me was what most people would see as a troubled childhood,for me and my friends it was life as we knew it.We grew up with gangs and drugs around our familys and streets,it was like normal..nobody hid it, everyone knew who everyone was. Being in drive-bys became a daily thing,to us..life wasnt all that important,the block we defened was. For anyone who has grown up in that enviorment knows,its better to get out while you can..and as soon as i got the chance,i did.Even after getting out life doesnt have any meaning,how could it?..you spend years living in the "dark side " not caring about who gets hurt while you do what you want..why should life care about you now?And if life dont care bout me,why should i care about it? Irogant way of thinking,after all im the one who ruined my back on life right? We are in charge of our own destiny,but our destiny is only as good as we are taught.For instince,a child raised in a home with parents head of a fourtune 500 company will more than likely have to become as successful as their parents ,as to a child in a broken family raised in poverty and gangs will likely grow into the same..which was my case.While in a crew one thing is always reminded to you,everyine is expendible,everyone.Some gangs were religous..hypocrits i thought,how can u praise a god of good and love after you shoot down 3 guys from a rival gang? Were they not as holy as you?..I never regret what i say or do,may not have been right but we live to learn,and why regret something when you cant change it or take it back? take it and learn from it,therefore we should man up to our actions.I dont belive in a supreme being,i think we live,learn and die,game over,therefore i can say after all the things i have seen in my short years here on this planet,good and bad,life is a rollercoaster..more down than ups but its exciting..like no other rollercoaster in the world..but live to fast and you dont appreacite life,live to slow and its gone before you know it,whatever you do,always remember.. are you a risk taker? Will you live life in fear of being judge..or will you live life with no fear and do as you please?..whats the worst that can happen?
