This bench I made out of this back half of a 1960 Impala, was once a brand new car. It was sold at a dealer to a man who used this to drive his girlfriend to a date, a mother used this car to get groceries or take her kids to school.. or who knows how else was this car used from its birthday in 1960 to when I got it all junked out and in pieces and decided to cut it out and make a bench out of it. And now I sit on it, my wife sits on it, my kids sit on it and lives on... the pint is......in 100 years, like in 2124, we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.
Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.
Our descendants will hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?
After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.
If we paused one day to analyze these thoughts, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all really was.
If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.
Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. I'd change all this to live and enjoy the walks I've never taken, these hugs I didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for.
Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.
And we waste it day after day with greed and intolerance.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but trunk or treat is not a replacement for trick or treat. Someone had to say it...
