life is what you choose it to be:
*A gift of time to experience joy, love, learning, growth,(which may involve your suffering) and you value it.
or:
Life is just existence, with no accomplishment having any value.
You choose what life means to you. You, and all those you know and love, are happier if if you treat it as a precious gift and a valuable treasure. You dishoner any higher power you believe in treating it as anything less. You dishoner your parents who gave you life and dreamed of great things for you. Most of all if you decide that your life is not precious and you don't treasure it, and then you die. You have mistreated yourself. You could have experienced all life had to offer.
Choose:
Be happy-die
Be miserable-die
Which is better
I guess that's the most powerful phrase I can think of.

There is no most; depends on the 2 someones involved. I like the line in Elton John's "Answer in the Sky," but there are countless more just as good.

Two:
Chameleon
"eye am ten, raised to the power: minus forty-three
seconds ago
eye am sixteen billion—Big Bang—years of sunsets since
call me Eastern Stardust Time
'fore eye was a cell, a clam, a crayfish
'fore eye was a frog, a turtle duck billed Dodo bird a
Platypus,
a dragon fly, a pollywog
'fore eye was a heron shy, a swallow full of sky, a
trilobite, a fire spark,
a meadowlark, a grain of sand, that grew into a stone,
a breath of air, & 'fore eye was a bone, eye was a
shadow:
a protozoariferacoelenterata,
plathyhelmintheaschelmenthemykindyourdermata
mollusannelidoidanthropodointegumentarychordata,
remember me, my flag it purple flowers fly:
forgetmenots my color
'fore eye was a bone, eye was a shadow,
dangling chromosomes of genus: You Know
oh swarthy Ethiopia, recall my own aunt Lucy
quand nous sommes: mille-huit cent-soixante quartorze
dawn Riot aegyptopithecus,
skull intact two million tears ago
sharper than mosquitoes "petahs"
32 teeth in Miocene Time
one prospector bone jumping Sapien
they never got it right,
but called us by another name
when no tail grew,
thirty thousand years of snow would go
dubbed 'em dignop-ragmop Rasta-Pongid-Missing Link
Big Foot, Yinee shot dice on a gene splice & Neanders
thawed
frostbite feet froze off Ice Age
stone flecks come the Peking man
then dropped like fire sticks
grew me & you & all the shades of them no one has seen
'em since
‘****** dice don't roll’
still Aunt Lucy says to say hello
Eyeball am here to testify: a Sapien,
a sole survivor, sweet Aunt Lucy's kin
come not she your aunt Lucy too
what solar system sky?
please tell me who? as what ? by how?
or whence? from where do your own ancestors fly?
whose jaws with skulls
the carbon dated bones back when?
you see, my friend
we are the spawn of saurs
no count tribes, whose thoughts grew out of grunts old
nods,
hand jive & screams--no word, odd signs,
engirdling tones the bread defined
the mantra said: yo-kee gee-ring-ho yo-mee-nam
our silence sings The Dream Time
to Ghaghaju-griot hearing aids
Sangria gun-gun great uncle juju Bushman kindled fire,
gathered roots his horse who rides me still
up a mountain-down the Belladonna shade
a million five ago & ashes
when the no name Mhamha's
announced us kin to cousin Taung's child
petrified like magma swirls
the garnet gleans a snowball stone
where once eye lay chameleon raw,
preserved in time, a lump of coal,
my jelly shook in oyster shells,
the progeny of apple cores--because:
'fore eye was a cell, a clam, a crayfish,
'fore eye was a frog,
a turtle, duck billed Dodo bird, a Platypus,
a dragon fly, a pollywog,
a trilobite, a heron shy, a meadowlark,
cyanogenic drop of rain, a fire spark,
'fore eye was a grain of sand that grew into a stone,
a breath of air 'fore eye was a bone,
eye was a shadow:
a protozoariferacoelenterata,
plathyhelmintheaschementheyourkindmydermata,
mollusannelidoidanthropodaintegumentarychordata
remember me, my flag, it purple flowers fly:
forgetmenots my color, 'fore eye was a bone eye was a
shadow."

ask them how profound the fact that they exist in the first place is...
really give it some thought...what are the odds that anyone is made up of energy all in the same place at the same time and to top it off that energy can recognize itself and is unique WOOOOAAAAA!!!!!
I can't tell you how to get this....just pray for understanding......if you do it will HIT YOU BIGTIME!

I LOVE YOU. if you want to tell someone that life is precious, let them know you love them, that you will always love them no matter the situation. tell them u will be there if you need them. sometimes all a person needs to know is that they arent alone and have support.

Always consider this your last minute on earth because it very well may be, there are no crystal balls or promises, no one knows what the future holds, no one.
