Life starts when weโ€™re born

We learn one step at a time

Once, and then itโ€™s gone.

๐Ÿšผ๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘โšฐ๏ธ

Tell me what life is

โ€œJust a series of moments

That is what life is.โ€

๐Ÿšผ๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘โšฐ๏ธ

What is growing up?

โ€œEndless experiences

That is growing up.โ€

๐Ÿšผ๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘โšฐ๏ธ

Tell me what death is

โ€œThat's the passing of our soul

That is what death is.โ€

๐Ÿšผ๐Ÿ‘ฏ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘โšฐ๏ธ

Till next time,

Calvin

  • You explained it all soooo beautifully! I loved it!

  • Nicely done on two topics so close to everyone and so difficult to comprehend at times.
