CAR·PE DI·EM (kär'pĕ dē'ĕm', -əm, dī'-)

Today, I heard a young boy was found dead. After being kidnapped for three days, his body was found on the side of a road. News stories such as these, make you see how precious life truly is. How can someone be so cruel as to take a young child's life before it even begins? What would that child have become? Perhaps, he would have been a doctor or a NBA star? Now, we'll never know....Sometimes, we take life for granted. We take the sun shining in on our face to wake us in the morning, or the joys of taking a warm shower for granted. Instead, we should count every minute of every day as a gift from God and rejoice. The next day isn't promised. So, we should seize the day and do those things that please us the most. Also, we shouldn't be so selfish. We should give to those that are less fortunate than us. Just a thought...what do you think?http://www.answers.com/topic/carpe-diem
