Reasons To Live

Reasons To Live

By Paul McCann

There is a reason we are here . Life is more than a walk in the park , or a shot in the dark . We are all different and it’s what we add to the mix that makes life worthwhile. Finding our way , having a say , sharing and caring .

There will always be those who try to take away our reason to live , there are those who use and abuse , but the majority of us outweigh the negative thinkers , there are more kind people than cruel , there are more generous than greedy , there are more good than bad and that’s why we are all still alive on the planet .

In this great big melting pot we call life , there are gifted individuals , dreamers , workers with blue collars , student and scholars , uniformed and the well informed ,  teachers and preachers , charmers and farmers , builders and planners and we all have a purpose  that gives us a reason to live . None of us are an island , we need each other , we live and give to each other , there is always something good we can do to help others along the way .

The reasons to live are many, from the moment we are born , we find a way to take a breath and call out , walk , eat , run and shout , talk , laugh and play .

  We learn as we grow , we do the things we have to do .

What makes me who I am and what makes you who you are is always a different  essence . That’s what makes life interesting , there is an unending source of originality within each of us that creates an impact on everyone we meet and in everywhere we go .

Taking a closer look at the reasons why people do the things they do and you’ll see why some of us are appreciated and valued . There are values that we must have in order to get along with one another and those values are what becomes our identify.

We are very diverse , the things that make me who I am and you who you are .

We are mind , body and spirit we have senses , we see , we taste , we listen and feel life through our senses .

There are reasons why we develop friendships and fall in love . There are reasons why we belong and feel good about who we are  .

What makes us who we are can be encouraged and enhanced by our connection with others . We either assist others or resist helping , there are reasons and there are excuses .

In the end we find a good reason to live in the world as a human being .

When we help others, we are also helping ourselves to fulfilling what life is all about .

The purpose of our lives , is to try and reason out things in a positive way and understand  what makes us tick .There are times we need to be tolerant and kind and in addition we can make a difference by how we connect in a world with so much diversity . It is essential that we find common ground in order to see who we are and what makes us all different . The way to reason is a step ahead in the right direction to find a purpose and accept everything that happens in our lives .

In this world we need to have a reason to live together on this journey regardless of our skin colour of religious belief . Having the right answer is the reason to life .

Our time on earth is brief , we are here and gone , like a song that is sung , like a prayer that is said , like the wind that comes and goes . There are reasons , why things happen , that’s just the way it is . Without reasons life cannot evolve .

Those who have no reason to be here would simply disappear .

 Like a shadow that follows us everywhere we go , its only reason to be there is because we are here and when the sun shines down upon us , our shadow has a reason to be there . If we were not here , our shadow would disappear .

There are people who disappear like an unseen shadow because of the crimes they have committed  and they are sent to prison, locked away from the world , ‘They have lost the right to live like most of us . In saying that some of those who have been imprisoned have found a reason to live .

What better hero can there be than a someone who has become a shadow of their former self who discovers a reason to live and see the truth within .

There is some evidence revealed that allows freedom even within a prison cell , having a reason to live breaks down the walls and allows light to come in and the shadow to walk free .

Those unseen shadows in the night found a light that had never shone in those prison cells . In death when our shadows are gone , life will carry on and our souls will be set free in a place where God will have his way and we will all know the reason why everything had to be just the way it was .

The End
