You do things because even though we all die, life is like a big, fun party, and you want to enjoy it while it lasts!
Imagine you're eating your favorite candy bar. You know that eventually, the candy will be gone, and you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for another one. But that doesn’t mean you don’t eat it today! You still savor every bite because it’s good right now.
Why It Matters
- You make memories. Like when you play with your friends or build a cool fort in the living room. Those moments are like little treasures, and they stay with you even after you grow up.
- You help others. Just like how you share your toys, sometimes people do big things to make life better for everyone else, even if they don’t get to enjoy it as long.
It’s Like a Story
Life is like reading a storybook, even though the book ends someday, you still want to read every page and enjoy every character. You might not be there forever, but while you are, you can have fun, make friends, and do cool stuff.
