'Ideal Life'

Ideally, every person ought to live each passing moment of his life as if the next moment were going to be his last. He ought to be able to live in the constant expectation of immediate death, and to live like this, not morbidly but serenely.... The closer a person can come to attaining this ideal state of mind, the happier he shall be... Ironically I read somewhere..."Everyone believes in the certainty of death...but surprisingly everyone believes that day is not today!"
I believe that once we accept our death...we are free to live...not caring about reputation...about what anyone else has to say...!
Quoting Shakespeare : "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players!" I look around and find one n all acting...and its so 'realistic' n 'believable'...rarely come across someone who is what is...there's a race in being what the world wants the idealist to be...! And one day in this worthless race...we'll wake up and find ourselves 'dead'...!
Live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as a ripe fruit drops, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.
We are all wanting to lead a better life, but in the haste forgetting to live.
I may as well act as others...My life may seem fruitless...I don't want to live what others call an ideal or perfect life 'cause that ain't mine! I rejoice in having the knowledge that when I die...any moment that it may be...With my last breath...I won't have any damn reason to want another...I believe that when i draw my last breath I would be satisfied with the knowledge that my experience of life wasn't a hideous sham!
"I believe my life is someone else's dream...my only concern...is it being enjoyed?"
