Only one Guarantee

Many people walk through life like they are owed something. For example, my aunt, she is a great woman but she just feels like everyone in this world owes her something. Personally I don't think that is the way to live. Many loose sight of life's bigger pictures and what is has to offer to people. In this society we are taught work hard and you will benefit. Not saying that is the case in every scenario but it is how we are taught.

Some people never had to work hard at all in their lives so they expect things to he handed to them. Others like my aunt feel like they have worked hard their entire life and they deserve more. I agree with deserving more but the harsh reality is the only thing we are guaranteed in life is death. We aren't guaranteed wealth, happiness, a husband/wife, children or a good paying job. But every human being that enters this world will close their eyes to die one day. It's sad but as humans we aren't even guaranteed good health or a long life.

I find it funny when I hear people talk about their fear of death. How can you be afraid of something that will happen to everyone. I'd be more afraid of my rent getting paid or providing for myself and children, not something that we don't have complete control over. Am I afraid to die, NO! One might ask why. I say, "Why fear something that will eventually happen." I'm not saying I live a care free life but I won't be afraid of death. Death is just another thing to scare humans. There are so many other things to be afraid of like this war in Iraq, health care coverage and our countries economic deterioration, but some people are fearing death. Some of these issues are country is facing at this time could have been avoided given the proper leader. But we have to struggle through the mistakes of others. This goes to show we aren't even guaranteed a good leader for our country.

I feel sorry for people that thinks this world and the people in it owe them something. When they really owe themselves a dose of reality.
