Did you know that a fly has a life expectancy of two weeks? Maybe you did; but suppose your life expectancy was the same as that of a fly, would you consider achieving all your ambitions in that limited period of time?

It might not be possible to have all your education, get a job, get married, have kids and watch them grow, have a bright future and be ready to die peacefully, but one thing for sure, you should be lucky having been born human. A good opportunity for you to meet people of your kind, travel across the country, work in different environments, encounter various challenges here and there. These are the things that make you who you are.
Think of that person you are seated next to in a cab heading home from work, torn and tired just like you are. His life ambitions may be similar to yours, but can you get to know the burden of problems he is carrying from deep within? No. In as much as our goals to lead a better life and have a bright future are similar, the problems we encounter in our paths to success are very much varied. You might be able to handle your own issues, believe me you won’t be able to handle mine.
You have worked hard all your life, what next? In your old age you have seen all that one could ever desire to see during his time and you have seen all your dreams come true, except for a few, of course it happens. Sitting in the garden every day enjoying the early morning sunlight, feeling the cold breeze from the mountain side. Life has given you all you desired, all your kids are learned and are now self dependent. You no longer have the dreams to call future. What else in life do you ask for?
Death. Yes, the only other option you have is to wait for your death. You are lucky if it comes faster and you are the first one on the line. Someone else somewhere will say after all, he lived a peaceful life. But suppose one of your most successful kids is the lead in the death journey? Stress and misfortune will surely bring you to your own death. How else then would you define being lucky to die?
