The beauty of Earth is life,

But everything living ends in death.

We live to love,

But love to hate.

Living makes me happy,

But also makes me sad.


Living in a cruel world makes me sad,

Though you must understand cruelty is what drives life.

Not everything in the world is meant to be happy

Life is created through destruction, through death.

Death is something we hate,

But living is something we ungratefully love.


Have we, as a species, learned to appreciate love?

A complex emotion that can often lead to being sad.

Even the most sincere can be driven to hate.

But why hate, why not cherish life.

Why not appreciate every moment and do good until our death.

Why not just be happy.


Be happy,

Cherish the things you love.

Because any moment could be your death

Don't worry, don't be sad.

Just live your life.

And work around the things you perceive to hate.


Disliking something is different than feeling hate.

Feeling hatred is much different than feeling happy.

Happiness is essential, its apart of our lives,

Just like nourishment, and love.

Things will make us sad,

But that's not the same as feeling death.


That's the thing, we don't feel death.

We feel hate

We get sad

We get happy

And we feel love.

All of which are constant between our lives.


All will end in death, and that's the meaning of life.

We will all get happy, and we will all get sad,

But what matters is whether we choose a life of love or if we choose a life of hate.
