Last Saturday my husband and I brought our son to East Coast and ride bicycle. Our journey started from the bicycle rental shop. We had 2 hours because of the promotion. However, we did not have any aim place to go. We rid along the beach and enjoyed the beautiful scenes and bright sunshine, felt breath of wind touching our faces and skin. It was an ordinary while relaxed weekend morning.

We finally stopped at a station of water skiing, where few people were lining up and were waiting for their turn to play water skiing. Some really played very well and gained a lot of praise. People gave loud sigh when some fell in water on the half way. After a while of rest, we rid back to that rental shop.

Our returned route was the same. However, I did feel we took much shorter time to arrive the place. In fact, I believe many people would feel the same way; we spent longer time to go somewhere than we did on return. If the journeys are the same, what made us feel the back way was shorter?

It could be because of our illusion to all the unknown things in the future? Aim is not so clear and we just go forward to it although we don’t know what could happen on that way. Just like life itself. We feel like we have a long life, but when we arrived the end of it, we would realize it was actually so short when we looked back our whole journey.

We always live in this illusion of that death is far away from us, because we never see where it is and we never know when it comes to us. Someday, we meet up with him and we would be surprised the life was so short. How many things we have not done? How much regrets we could not put down?

Would you like to wish the life could be played once again at that moment?

Yes, if you do, why don’t you begin to prepare for the last moment from now on? Treasure what you have now and enjoy the moment you are in. No matter whether you believe migration or not, today is the consequence of yesterday and the reason of tomorrow as well.
