what is the point?


what is the point…
when you serve others and give of yourself only to be unappreciated?
what is the point…
when you study for days to pass your mid-term and still get a C on your test?
what is the point…
when you ask the girl of your dreams out week after week and she still says no?
what is the point…
when life can’t get any more difficult and then your car breaks down?
what is the point…
when you are just beginning to love your job and find yourself unemployed?
what is the point…
when you open your heart to a friend only to be stabbed in the back?
what is the point…
when your fiancé tells you she loves you but fails to show on your wedding day?
what is the point…
when the trials you encounter seem more difficult than you can handle?
what is the point…
when you feel forgotten by friends, family and God and don’t know how to keep going?
what is the point…
when you have everything going for you one week only to have your dreams shattered the next?
what is the point…
when life always seems to remind you of the cruelty of human nature?
what is the point…?

what is the point…
when a friend calls just to see how you are doing and tell you they care?
what is the point…
when no one wishes you a happy birthday all day only to find everybody at your surprise party that night?
what is the point…
when a plate of cookies appears just because?
what is the point…
of having friends who care and give life meaning?
what is the point…
of focusing on the negative when there is so much good to be noticed?
what is the point…
of enjoying every minute of life because it is another minute you have to live?
what is the point…
of life?

what is the point…
to live, to die, to love, to be loved, to learn, to teach, to influence others, to be influenced, to understand, to be understood, to remember, to be remembered…

what is the point…?

living life is the point…
