If you haven't yet commented on that sonnet in my previous post, please do...and here, I'll tell you what it means to me...
Shakespeare was saying that in life, everyone we know and everything we see an everything we've ever loved will eventually die and fade away...and this is ok. It is peaceful and natural. We all pass from this world and into the next. And, here's the way I see it...the world, our world, will never again be EXACTLY the same as it is RIGHT NOW. So live. Take advantage of opportunity. Do not be afraid to look stupid, because those who judge you must not be alive enough to recongize life in someone. I'm just starting to realize these things...and I feel...enlightened? That's the purpose of great literature though, isn't it? To make us learn some new fact about life? Something that unites us so we don't feel so very alone?
Well...this postsecret card is true. Much truer then most can know...
Just an add on to Libby : If you don't live in the moment with what you have now, you may never live at all. Things you love, will love and once loved pass away in the blink of an eye, but you must move past it all and see the brightness of now and the future soon to come.
