No matter how much we accomplish success or the money we earn, our life is still bound to the one moribund trajectory that we have been set upon since the moment we breathed our first. What I mean to convey by this metaphor is that any of our personal achievement will hardly be a influential factor in deciding where our course of life ends. No matter how much we struggle or go against our wish to achieve something in life, how long will that success last ? How long that achievement will remain valid ? Well, put in the cosmic metaphor, it will last till it is consumed by the ultimate black hole.
But that is not true in its entirety. Well, it is true if the achievement is selfish, it will live and die with us, but what if we are trying to achieve something that affects other people's lives ?
Dragging the cosmic metaphor further, an asteroid or a planet floating through space will be unseen, unnoticed and uncared for in the dark oblivion. But what if it is a star, Brightly illuminating ? Of course, that star is still on its way to get sucked in by the black hole but its light will live on for a much longer time after it is once gone. A non-luminous object in the infinite dark doesn't stand a chance compared to this. Moreover, light can go on forever in a vacuum until it is absorbed, further, it is a single photon capable of carrying that light and being visible. So, long after the star has become invisible in its entirety, the light has already spread far beyond and unlikely to be ever consumed and die away.
So let us try to be light and bring some effect into the life of others in the best possible way, because that might be the only possible way to live on forever.
