What if • day 19

I think everyone has had the thought about the whole scenario of 'what if I/you die tomorrow?' Not the typical view where your sorry you didn't tell someone you loved them or that you were sorry you did something to them but a different view like when you were pretty horrible to someone and 'what if' that someone died. I remember going to someone's funeral in high school and looking around at all the people who judged them and talked badly about them before their passing. Yet, there they were, all in line to hug the family. I think people have good intentions but are often quick to have opinions and then squash them because it's Christmas, "such and such's" birthday party, or because someone died.

I feel like we should be the same all the time. Not different because there is an event, special occasion or because someone is really sick. We should love one another all of the time.

I've always thought that animals were a fine example of this. They don't hate. They don't judge. They don't choose sides or talk out of both sides of their mouths. They simply, love unconditionally.... All of the time.

What if we treated everyone as if it were their last day? Would we treat them differently if we knew? Why? Why wouldn't we love the same every day?
