What really matters...

What would it be like if we treated everyone like they were dying?

How would things be different?

How would we act?

What would really matter?

Stupid things like if someone is:

rich or poor

tall or short

strong or weak

good looking or not

smart or dumb

The list could stretch on....

these things wouldn't matter as much any more.

So, here's the newsflash for you.

We are all dying.

Well kind of, we are all going to die....and whats the difference really.

I am dying, but who knows it may take 80 years...but it will eventually happen

We are all on the same road, heading to the same destination.

We are all going to die - simple, redundant, cliché...well its true.

we are all going to die

So if we are all dying, why not treat others with the true respect they deserve?

In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter who drives the nicer car, or who can lift more weight, or who scores higher on a test?

it really doesn't 

That fact that we all will die is all that matters.

Live a life that you love, with the people you love, doing what you love.  That way when its over, even if its sooner rather than later, there aren't any regrets and coulda-woulda-shouldas.  That's what really matters.  

Treating people with the respect they deserve, that is all that matters.

Death shows that love, respect, and kindness are really all that matters.

So, let's remember what really matters.
