The End

If I were to move a hill of thoughts

Only to find a mountain instead.

Would I then give up the pursuit,

Or continue to climb instead?

 

Vast are the surprises laid ahead,

When life has unexpected turns.

Yet we must continue our journey

Regardless or quit and lay dead.

 

If only tomorrow we knew in advance.

Would we plan our life differently?

Who is to know what the future can bring,

Even though we know how it all will end?

I'm not sure you could define death as an end. Merely the next stage in the exploration of eternity. For all we know there may be more problems and/or joys in store. We all get our turn, so I'm sure we'll find out. I enjoyed this George. Bob

George,
Isn't the journey the most important...
Not worrying how it will end is a good thing.
Peace and love

The last line puzzled me. You could be saying that "it will all end" meaning that you will die so that it will end for you. You could be saying that the sun will devour the earth in approximately 4 billion years. Or, you could be repeating the biblical prophecy of Armageddon, the Rapture, or some other apocalyptic thoughts.

I simply don't know. I do know that as we age our problems increase and the mountain of issues we have to resolve seems to get larger. Such is life.

Think when it all comes to an end, I will likely just lay down and "play dead"...-e-

Although we know how our story will end, we don't know "when" and that is the charm or crux of life. I choose to persevere, taking my chances with triumphing, no matter how small the victory.

Eh . . . I have climbed many a mountain, George, and I have allowed a few off them to defeat me . . . It all depends on how many stones we have at the time.

What's it going to matter a hundred years from now? That's what my daughter tells me. Little smart ass! I love her!!!!

Love ya!
