Dusk and Dawn

Dusk is always the saddest time of the day. Why? Simply because you have to face the fact that one more day has passed, and that you probably haven’t lived it to the best of your ability. It is the end of the day, before the beginning of the nightly excitement. It is the end of playing outside, of going for a walk, or swimming. The end of summer is always marked with dusk. One more day over… one more day closer to your death. You have to wonder if your life is just one long strand of dusks, and that you really should be doing more with it, other than just letting it pass.

Dawn, on the other hand, is always so happy. It is the beginning of the new day; a fresh start. No matter how horrible your life was previously to that moment, you can always rebuild and begin with the dawn. It is a time when you feel that you can do anything that you want; life is yours for the taking.

Live every day as if it is the dawn, and not dusk. With dusk, you lose everything, but with dawn the world is yours.
