A full life and a graph

Graph of a fully lived life

The end was always with you at the beginning,
Just as the beginning would be at your end.

You were born knowing you’ll die,
with a beating heart, always there to remind you.

You’re full of life, just as much as you are,
still meat and bones.

You’ll walk the earth for months, even years,
till you find a beautiful casket to fall in fully dressed.

Life is everything between both ends.
Your beginning and your end.

So play the game and go your rounds.
Play to win and play for fun.

Think not of the end, but of the now.
The end is assured, but you control the now.
So….

Write your story,
Sing your song,
Travel the earth,
Feel the mud.

Make some friends,
Find a lover,
Hug a stranger,
and create memories.

Life is a zero-sum game.
You start and end at zero.

To win at Whot, you come out with an empty hand.
And we are the winners in this game of life, not death.

But control the now,
Live a full life,
and leave a crazy curve on your graph
