Living on the Edge is Different for Everybody

Electromagnetism is something I have no idea about and am not going to write about. We are here on a little marble spinning round a star like giddy children on a carousel horse. It feels like the ride will go on forever but by the time it's over it will seem like it's gone too fast.

But that's life and that's death. A lot of people spend their whole lives worrying about death. I should know, I'm one of them but isn't it stupid? That is just a moment at the end of our lives, a brief moment that may not happen for years.

It's like sitting on the carousel horse and not enjoying your ride because you know it'll be over sometime. Death hangs over us. I often look at animals, dogs especially, running around all happy. I wonder do they have any idea that one day they'll die?

Some people say you should live every day like it's your last. Yeah, but remember that it probably isn't. A lot of people say live life on the edge, live life to the full and this is something which really gets to me because they are usually talking about bungee jumping or something.

And that's where a lot of people go wrong. Living life to the full to some people is adrenaline rushes or getting off your face every night but it's a relative concept. Living life to the full for others might be getting a degree from college, finding love or raising a family in a quiet neighborhood.

Life is strange and wonderful. For different people, in different ways. What makes some smile, bores others, what is the essence of life for some is a little too much for someone else.

Live life and don't judge others, if you think you're a free spirit living the hipster life remember a man in a suit may be just as free or you may be just as imprisioned in your own lifestyle choice.
