What is life mean to you?

What is life mean to you?
For me, life is like a play
We are the actors
We all have our own roles
Sometime we may need to play many roles at the same time
Day by day, year by year
Time is passing by
We just didn't realize that we lost so much time
Because we were busy with our own performance
We didn't have time to slow down
To really look at the world
Neither to feel and see the beauty of the world
Nor to pay attention to our surroundings

As professional actors
We have to hide our true feelings
To act like the one that we want to be
To be tough, strong and cool
People actually are not as strong, tough and cool as they appear
They just pretended to be

Because they want to protect themselves from being hurt
As a matter or fact, humans are afraid of death
What makes us afraid of death?
No matter how hard we pretend
We are still afraid of death, even if we didn't say it out loud
You know what makes death so scary?
It comes from the fear of dying soon,
Remember that we are mortal, we will die someday
But when the day comes
We will not have time to be afraid of it anymore
Well, we are born with nothing (empty-handed)
And we shall leave with nothing (empty-handed)

We will try to do whatever we can to succeed at our dream
But we just didn't realize how much we have given up
What did we get back in return?
