Ephemeral or Eternal?

Well I had to learn a tough lesson. I had to learn it for some time and all the signs were there, but it seemed easier to take the highway! Truth is people are the value. We are stubborn and we keep on gathering stuff that "make us happy" or maybe that are useful or maybe we just have a "hobby". We pay a lot to buy all these. We are ready to invest in an apartment, in a car, in a 2-week vacation to some end of the world place, in books or shoes or clothes or anything that is so material and ephemeral.

I kept planning to post our New Years resolutions. When stepping into this new year 2011, me and the friends gathered had some thoughts for this new beginning. And they were all so powerful and so of God... but one of them made me think a lot. My friend said that she was planing to put an etiquette with "EPHEMERAL" for all those material-non-important things and another etiquette with "ETERNAL" on humans. That was a brilliant plan. And I am so sure that if we had done that so far our life would've been a little happier, no remorse.

I, on the other hand, got caught in this race for wealth and material gains. I lost track of the humans near me. I forgot to be kind, and nice, and thoughtful. I became more and more bitter and unfriendly. I was told that bitterness keeps people away - somehow like a bad smell. The thing is we lose people. Sometimes we lose them with no possibility to get them back. What we had done by that point will remain. Nothing else matters. Of all people, I can say that humans are not trustworthy, but we need to do our best, we need to build bridges where there are none. Otherwise we're just gonna be alone and all the material things we gather so greedy would not make us happier.

We are so human, so proudling assuming that we're gonna live forever. The problem is that we are right. We ARE gonna live forever... but not the way we are imagining it.
