It ends tragically, primarily because it does end.<br />But before it does it can be very rich not only in meaning but in joy. The best gift we have is each other and loving relationships give life its deepest meaning. Anyone who has loved or been loved knows that.<br />Anyone who has helped make the life of another easier or better has known meaning.<br />Anyone who had enjoyed a bright red cardinal or any of the other myriad natural beauties has known joy.<br />Every time someone paints a picture, plays a sonata or written/read something good or pleasing has known joy.<br />Also, before we exit the stage we leave behind our children. they are the next act.<br />Being one act does not translate to tragic. Life does have the tragic in it. That is simply the other side of the coin. It goes with living. It is a matter of accepting life on its own terms and doing all we can to be the best we can, help others do so as well, and enjoy every precious bit of it.<br />Ruth O'KeefeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
