LIFE'S JOURNEY REFLECTION

Life’s Journey Reflection.

At birth, life is filled with love, care, and the fulfillment of every need. From ages 10 to 20, you chase freedom, insisting on your right to love and play without limits. By 30 to 40, reality sets in life grows complex, demanding relentless effort to carve out your path.  

In your 50s and 60s, time shortens. Joy feels fleeting, and the faces of those you grew up with begin to fade. At 70, the mind turns to the misty unknown of life’s final journey a mystery beyond explanation, where hope rests in something greater than humanity. Emotions sway between joy and frustration; carelessness creeps in, and the world feels ungenerous. Memories replay like a broken record. You crave someone to hear your stories, and at night, you dwell on peers who’ve already crossed to the other side.  

The truth? Life is a tapestry of physical struggles and spiritual yearnings. Pain lingers, and the only unwavering light is family. Darkness wounds us daily, yet we rise each dawn. The next chapter remains uncertain; we cling to hope to endure the shadows.  

By 80, fear dissolves into prayer for rest and reunion visions of departed parents, siblings, and friends fill your dreams. You accept life’s terms; “If those I love are there, let me join them.”

In death, the world moves on. Wars rage, graves forgotten as the living fight to survive. We ask, Why the hatred, greed, and violence? These flaws crown us as mortal gods. There is no utopia only the chance to better ourselves.  

History immortalizes the powerful, even the cruel, but rarely the billions of ordinary souls. Only family keeps your memory alive, though even that bond may fray under life’s harsh weight.  

Humanity now holds power to erase itself in seconds. This truth remains. Your judgment is today, not in an afterlife.

You need read twice to get the message. 

Until the moment when will shall dance in white Greater Grace.
