The pros and cons of life

Solomon wrote ‘all the works of the flesh are vanity!’
Maybe so.
What does life mean?
One day we exist,
We walk, talk, learn.
We go to school until we are adults
And they tell us
That this will prepare us for life.
Prepare us for what?
Working until our bones ache
Our muscles, sore
Maybe we will have kids
Maybe own a house
Enjoy a holiday
Once in a while.
Most definitely we will become
Old and frail.
Increasing so, until our insignificant lives end, like a whisper
In a boisterous, over-crowded room.
But would you prefer to not exist
At all?
Better it is to have existed, lived, and lost
Than to never been thought of at all.
The pros of living
Is life itself
The dead have nothing.
But there has to be more to life
Than what there is.
How can this life be all!?
This life, is merely a transitional period,
Of something better to come.
I’m sure of it.
