Life's Brief Candle

To-morrow, to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, Brief candle!!!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing................

William Shakespeare

We born as a candle is lighted up, we live as a candle burning, we die is a candle extinguish and then we are "heard no more”! Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow, we merely passing each day, meaninglessly, aimlessly …... Waiting for your life's candle to shimmer away into the darkness... We may influence the lives of others, but they too are doomed to death, and death turns us into useless and meaningless “dust”. In a few generations most of our accomplishments will be totally forgotten, the memories of our lives reduced to a mere name etched on a tombstone or written on a genealogy chart. In a few centuries even our tombstones will be unreadable due to weathering; our skeletal remains will be all that is left of us. Life is only the time given us to play our part in the stage, although it is full of noise but actual is it meaningless. After that, we are heard no more! We human life is short and it like a flickering candle blowing in the wind; it may get blown at any time! Life is temporary like a candle, and it is a journey to a dark end!
