Important. Not!

What's really important? I recently had a chat with a friend and the conversation took an interesting twist. We agreed that in life the things you think are important and you stress over eventually turn out to have been for naught. Worrying and anxiously fretting about things we later wonder why we even bothered to think or stress over. What you think is important now is usually not what is really important later. I'm saying we sometimes get too focused on things and lose the real things. In life the best thing is love but we will focus on everything but it. Forgetting to take time for ourselves or to spend time with others. Instead we focus on what the person we spent time with wore and how embarrassed we felt being with them instead of focusing on the time we were able to spend together. Some people get a reality check as to what's really important when that person or other people around them die. Sometimes it takes a near death experience but all the same one needs to snap out of it. Either way we need to remember that life is what you make it. If your focus is on stuff that doesn't matter than you're living a life without substance. Unless you're a manikin I don't think this is a healthy way to live. Plug in to life and what it really has to offer you. You might just discover there's more to life than superficial exsistantce. Plus it's fun!
