We are constantly haunted by the fickle nature of life. Some of us fear the unpredictability of life. Others are scared of the cruel fate life could deal us at any moment. For some though, their deepest fear is life itself. They do not understand the reason for their existence, so they fear the significance of their lives. The fear of death and change makes them recognize the abrupt nature of life.
This fear blinds them from a beautiful irony. Life may be abrupt but time is eternal. The fear of the inevitable end makes them forget about the vastness of eternity. They forget that even though they cannot cheat death, their actions can. Just like the images on a photograph, our actions could be frozen eternally for everyone to see. Our deeds are given immortality so that they last for ages.
However, worthy images alone withstand the test of time. So, we would have to leave a worthy photograph behind. We would have to leave a memory that would be trapped in the echoes of time. We would have to leave behind a legacy. A legacy would help us overcome our fear and give us something to live for.it gives meaning to our very existence. Life is like a forest which we have found ourselves in. Without a legacy as map, we would be lost and swallowed by the wilderness.
