Life is what we call are time here on earth, it is also all around us and has millions or definitions.  An average life is about 70 years, 70 years is about 25,550 days. Now why would i give all these facts you may ask, well because clearly this is not enough time for are dear souls. Are life's are depicted in to years and months and weeks, i think there is a problem with are society. Are standard of living in good, in what we eat and are heatlh and countless things. But what about are life, is it rated or on a scale? many people would agree and disagree but i say it is.

     Life is too short some say, some say live it to its fullest. Never do they day what is the fullest, many will say love, and family, and money is the  "fullest". I agree with the "life is too short" saying, reason being because most of are lives we live following the rules of society and the laws of are government and countless traditions. Why do we take all we have for granted, here is the United states this is a great problem. While a kid in Africa hunts for his food, a kid in America may beg or whine because he/she has not filled his/her stomach to its pleasure. What does this have to do with Life you may ask, to be human to me means to help, to share, to live. If living consist of my own belongs and own relatives safety then that is fine. Life to many may me this, or may mean the environment.  Now what does the environment have to do with life, well everything.

      Trees, metal, water, all these things are form the environment so do they just belong to us since we inhabit the world. NO these things belong to the environment and we just keep taking and manipulating the environment to meet are needs. Now i cant say i have held this to its barrings because as i write i use up non renewable resources to power my computer. Life is everything around us, you, the person next to you, the ground under you, everything is life because we inhabit it. Being you care or don't care about the environment or just think i blab about nothingness, just know that life is to be lived not wasted and to know that your time on this planet we call earth has an end.
