The Life You Choose

In western cultures, if you were to ask someone where they see themselves ten years from now, most would say that they'll be in a better position than they are today. In some eastern cultures, you ask the same question and they reply that they'll be doing the same thing they are now.

Maybe we weren't all cut out to raise a family. Some people live in the same town their whole lives. Some work at the same job for 50 years. Some people just get up and go to work, and one day they just don't get up anymore. They leave behind not even the slightest legacy, they become a fading memory. Some people simply die alone. And that's ok. In the end we're all dying alone. Some of us are just doing it while others are watching.
