This Journey Called Life

What should one expect from life? Can we really accept or change what life throws at us? Are our futures inevitable despite different paths we may take to get there? Should we be happy or scared to see the future? People say that life is what you make of it. What if what we make of it has nothing to do with how or why our lives ended? Unfortunately, there are always unforeseen roadblocks that try to keep you away from your final destination. People often say that we are put on this earth for a reason. Does anybody know what their true reason is? They may think it is to get an education, work for a big company, and then settle down. What if those are just dreams and not one's true calling? I am certain that no one is 100% positive about what their lives mean for or can do for the world. These unknown lifetime achievements can be small as apologizing to a friend or as big as destroying world hunger. No one's outline of how their life should be is completely accurate. The unexpected events and unknowns manage to slip their way into those broad thoughts and aspirations that one hopes to achieve. Some religious people believe that when you die, then you have completed your life's task. Before a person dies, does anything major normally stick out that just says that was what they were suppose to do before their end. Can we ever know why we are on this planet or why fate puts us in situations most of us would love to avoid at all costs? Life is nice to some and extremely cruel to others. Life is a journey with an unmarked destination. You do not know where you are going until you get there. One may think they are there but life has a few more miles to go. It is amazing how we are born innocent just to be corrupted by the world that society helped create and helped destroy. Is it even possible to stay innocent? No matter how nice and holy a person may be they still have a negative thought from time to time. They may get mad at the person who cut them off in traffic. Everyone is guilty of something. All we can do is hope that we truly can accept whatever life throws at us.
