What impacts your life today?

Question

What impacts your life today? whats the symbol to it and why?

Answer 1

loneliness and death. They are the two most integral aspects of our existence. For one, we are bound to die, it's the end result of our life. No matter how much we do, how much we try, it all ends. Even if your deeds outlast you, they can never be permanent. They will die as future generations pass. Regarding the loneliness, no matter how many friends we have, we all walk alone. People may say they feel for you, but you are the only one experiencing your feelings. People may be your friends now, but probably not later. Your parents may be alive today, but not tomorrow. You are the only person that will be there for you.  Whatever external connections you have are superficial in nature because there's always that possibility it won't survive through your entire existence.

When you come down to it, life has a grim reality...
