Our time here on earth is limited. A finite period in which we grow, flourish and build our empire. This finiteness of life weighs heavily on some and we seek to make our mark on life immortal. We strive higher, birth children, build pyramids and fly to the moon. Yet nothing lasts; trees wither, families perish, achievements fade and empires crumble.
To the narcissist and the ego this eventual fading of our self from the chapters of the word is deflating. Yet, just as the mightiest tree in the forest must fall to make way for the new generation, so too must our lives fade to enable the next generation to thrive. They must be able to live their lives in their present, not chained by the past of those who have gone before.
Like wise, we should live fully in this beautiful moment - not chained by the past or confined by our perception of the future.
