Life's Meaning
Today, at this time, Prince Harry is getting married. As I look on at the proceedings and the procession, I can't help but remember the day when his mother, Diana, got married. I remember lots of things. I remember when he was born and when his mother died. I think his mother's life and death has left a great impression on the minds of people, and to a great extent has influenced people's popular support for Prince Harry and his bride. The thing is that the whole history of this royal personality seems like yesterday. Time really flies! But what does life mean to us. People are born, they live and die. Life itself seems to come and go fast. So what does life really mean to us? Well, I think Lady D has answered this question by her very life. Even though she's not around now, she has left the world a legacy that would forever remain with us. Because of all the good that she has done for people, because of the way she was dedicated to caring for and raising her sons, because of the lasting impression that she has made on people, she lives on in the memory of the people, and in the lives of her sons. Her short life has been made eternal, in that her legacy would live on for ages and ages to come. So, what does life mean for us? We should reflect a bit on who we are, what we're doing in our lives, and how we would like to be remembered. For one thing, we should live in such a way, so that when we're gone our legacy would live on.
