Life is short and fleeting, yet full of miracles. From the innocence of a newborn, to the awakening of consciousness, to the sudden arrival of age and ultimately death, life is a cycle that no human can escape. As we grow older we strive with passion for the world, but it is a waste of time since everything we own and even our own bodies will eventually have to be left behind. This realization should lead us to think rationally and turn to God for a peaceful and honorable life not only here, but also in the eternity that follows.
