Cruelness of Life

When we are first brought into this world, we are given such great opportunities to be whatever we want to be. For most of us, we plan our lives accordingly by setting goals for ourselves and planning to acheive them. We then work hard for days, months, years in order to reach our pinnacle point of success so that we may feel the great gratification of life.

However, what of the people whose opportunities are taken away at such an early point in their lives? I speak of the people whose lives are tragically cut short and will never have the chance to reach the top of their mountain of goals. The people who die those tragic deaths at such a young age.

When you are young, you have no concept of mortality. The world is litterally your oyster. You are supposed to be invincible while growing up, with no worries and no responsibilities. Yet, there are young kids (yes, kids, ladies and gentlemen) who dont even reach the age of adulthood. Whats worse, most of them arent the druggies you hear about in the paper, they arent the ones that are flunking out like the statistics tell you. No, most of them are the ones that are good, hard working, athletic young people who just had their lives cut too short.

We all know the sayings: "life isnt fair" and "shit happens", but tell that to the families and friends of these kids. The people who wanted to grow up with them experiencing life, complete with both up's and down's. The people who wanted to be with their kids; the people who wanted to be with their friend to experience the cornerstones of life like University, Traveling.... even High School Graduation.

Shit happens alright, but it only seems to happen to the people who dont deserve it.
