What's the important thing in our Life?

Theresa Brow (2008) writes about Patient’s Death in her article “Perhaps Death Is Proud; More Reason to Savor Life.” She indicates that despite doctors has done everything they could do to save a patient, who has lung cancer; she still died eventually. Death is an unsettling truth in a real life; on the other hand, death gives us a apparent inspire to savor life. One important issue from article I would like to discuss there is the statement about life. For me, it is a valuable inspiration.
The issue is about life. Theresa shows (2008) that the only antidote to death is not poetry, or drama, or miracle drugs, or a roomful of technical expertise and good intentions. The antidote to death is life. I agree with her because the statement applies in my own perspective of life. Even though the life nowadays is changing a lot, the essential meaning of life most people are looking for is the same-happiness or the enjoyment of life. By the term “happiness”, people may have different definitions on it. In some people’s mind, perhaps, the happiness is to have a plenty of money, beautiful women, success in their career, or enjoy the miracle drugs. As a result, they would achieve their goals; receive more privileges or more things after years hard-working. For example, in my family, my uncle is a successful business man; he has a big company and a high reputation in his life. However, he has to work hard and be carefully of his fortune all the time. He has no time to spend with his lovely family; he has no rest for himself most of time. Although he lives in a luxury life with a successful career, he has rarely smiles on his face all the time. Mostly, he stays in busy and worrying life. Overall, instead of the life with worrying, busy, luxury; life with children at home, eat well, walking in the rain, feel the sun on your face and laugh loudly would be more meaningful and enjoyable.
In this case, life is affected by death, but death evokes people the meaning or the reason of life. Therefore, people should enjoy the short life. Theresa’s notion is helpful and I agree with her. It’s important to remember that the only way people can release from death is life. Having enjoyment in one’s life is very important, thus, people should get pleasure from it as much as possible.
