Life

Some of us turn off the lights and we live
In the moonlight shooting by
Some of us scare ourselves to death in the dark
To be where the angels fly
-Red River Shore (Bob Dylan)

Ok, so this quote is from one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs. Just looking at the lyrics it seems to be fairly truthful to what people do. Instead of living life to the fullest, people are afraid of the what-if's that may occur in the future. A slightly depressing thought (or motivating, depending on how you look @ it) is the fact that you are conceived, and already you are taking time away from your life, if you believe that everyone has a finite time here on earth. So from the second you start breathing the air on earth you are taking up time. For the first few years of your life, your conscious self was probably not aware of this, but now we are and we can not let life go to waste.
