People don't "DO" things anymore...

we've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'll all be millionaires and moviegods and rockstars - but we won't.

 

having children, loving them and being loved by them is the true key, it's what eternal life means.

 

This is your life.
And its ending, one minute at a time.

 

well thats depressing!

 

No! Accept it and move on, enjoy your life and live it every single day!

 

I agree with Kahli. Too often we're conned into believing that to be important you have to be important to *everyone*. Fact is if you are good to your friends, kind to your family, do your job well, and - most importantly - never avoid your shout down the pub, you have a worthwhile life. Anything else is just cake decoration

Sure, it's depressing thinking that you're just another cog in the wheel, but 99% of people fulfil that role in society and there's nothing wrong with it. Let's face it, even astronauts and fighter pilots have their dull days.
