Today we are invited to take our fate into our own hands, and affect what is transcribed for us in the book of life. We are proud or stubborn, holding onto our grievances. No one will take your place. Everyone knows that there is no better feeling than being loved, and nothing worse than it's absence.
Life is short.
We are finite beings, whose ends, though they may be at different times and in different manners, will all come at last. Therefore, why should we not do the best we can while we are here, to feel more love than coldness, more forgiveness than anger.
