The term ephemeral, which comes from a Greek word meaning "of one day", allows us to name that which is fleeting or of brief duration. Something ephemeral has little life and disappears after a short time.
Thinking about how short life can be even if you live 90 years is something that always leads us to reflect every time someone leaves this earthly plane. When a loved one departs, no matter how long we have had them by our side, how much we have achieved or how good a person they were, we always regret this loss and we feel an immense emptiness that makes us think that we lacked the time to share with that person.
What can we do about it? It is very difficult to think of something that can mitigate the pain of the loss of a loved one, however, we must understand that life is short and that those of us who are still alive must try to live lives that are worthwhile for our loved ones, overflowing with love, always being for those we love and those who love us because today we are and tomorrow we do not know, because today we have them but tomorrow we do not know.
Many times people live isolated lives, familiarly speaking, although they are good providers of food, material things they do not make an effort for the simple things like spending time with family, loved ones, spouses and children something that at the end of life ends up taking its toll on us, because when we realize that we have left behind what should be our family moments we regret all the time wasted.
Life is ephemeral my people and it seems that the pattern repeats itself over and over again, no matter how much you read about it, how much you warn people always discover that they could have done something else, spend more time together or take better care of that loved one who just left, that's when you realize that the arguments and reasons for not doing the right thing were only excuses, that when you said you could not because you had occupations everything ended up being a crude excuse that prevented you from marking a deeper mark of love in your loved ones.
So, you still have time to run to your family, your mother or father, your wife and children, your cousins or any loved one and do not keep making excuses so you do not discover forcibly and unpleasantly that all your arguments that keep you away from your family are just excuses.
I already said it...
