What the Stars and the Sky Tell Me About Life

Stars…
The very brilliant and mysterious things we see at night. Those tiny dots that light the dark sky at night is what we called stars. Didn’t you ever wonder what are they really like?
When I was a kid, I really wondered what stars are like. At first, I thought stars do really have that shape since most of our early teachings about shapes tell us that stars are decagons but as I grow and learn my first impressions about stars changed and now I knew that they are balls of gases that lie in different and very far places in this vast universe. Well, some of them are useful to us, like our sun. As we all know, perhaps, is that the sun is our major source of energy. I was a bit shocked before when I learned that the sun was really a star. I really believed that it was different.

Life…
It is probably a way of existence. It is most likely what we call in our presence here in the planet so called Earth and it is said that life is short so better use it in good means and enjoy. Well, as we have been experiencing nowadays, life is not that easy. You experience happiness, success, love but it can never be denied that we are also to feel pain, face sufferings, sacrifices and the worst part of it is death. You see, death is not that bad since it is the start of your life with out Lord but most of us feared about it cause we just over loved our presence here in this material world.

Life and Stars…
Is there any connection?
As of now, there is. Many people use stars or other heavenly bodies in predicting lives and in making money. We call it Astrology1. As people learn to read and predict them, I still do not believe in such things for I stand with my belief that only the Powerful Being has the capacity to know the future. I see horoscopes2 and many others as some entertainment and I do not take it very seriously but it can never be denied that there are predictions that happened. Well, the stars, the sky and me tells that life is not that short. We simply wasted life that is why we say it is short for we did not make the certain things our soul really craved to do. It also shows that life is very wide and mysterious. We encounter things explainable and others that are not discovered yet. It made me see how smart and creative God is for doing such marvelous things. I realized based on my observation in the sky that life is unpredictable. Just like the skies, it may rain and we just cannot say. Skies showed me that there is really much more things I need to explore in my life.

So, hope you did a bit of thinking… If I would ask you, what would stars, skies and anything else above you shows you what life really is?
