Isn't it crazy how we only have one shot at this life?

It would be much more crazy if we had more than one life.
Isn%26#039;t it crazy how we only have one shot at this life?
yes if we die its all over.Not a single movement or sound.
Isn%26#039;t it crazy how we only have one shot at this life?
Its to show how precious life is.


Stop playing video games and get your head into reality!

The 8 year old who has been mutiliated and sold into prostitution is likely not going to have many choices no matter how many times they repeat their lives.





One shot a life is likely an indication about the quality of life the way that it is and that is usually a question of perception.





Life could be a lot better for many of us and it can also be a lot worse. The problem is that we can believe that life would turn out better when it actually could turn out worse.

Reply:If you%26#039;ve only got one shot.





Take careful aim.
Reply:i like that song, but I think that we have more then one shot and that is just a motivator to think like that, there is only one guarantee in life and that is that there is no guarantee





Eminem Lose Yourself (Dirty Version) Lyrics





Look....if you had...one shot....or one opportunity


To seize everything you ever wanted...in one moment


Would you capture it...or just let it slip, yo..





[Verse 1]


His palms are sweety, knees weak, arms are heavy


There%26#039;s vomit on his sweater already, mom%26#039;s spaghetti


He%26#039;s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready


To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting


What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud


He opens his mouth, but the words won%26#039;t come out


He%26#039;s choking how, everybody%26#039;s choking now


The clock%26#039;s run out, time%26#039;s up, over BLAOW !


Snap back to reality, ohh, there goes gravity


Ohh there goes Rabbit, he choked


He%26#039;s so mad, but he won%26#039;t give up that easy, nope


He won%26#039;t have it, he knows his whole back%26#039;s to this rope


It don%26#039;t matter, he%26#039;s dope


He knows that, but he%26#039;s broke


He%26#039;s so sad that he knows


When he goes back to his mobile home, that%26#039;s when it%26#039;s


back to the lab again, yo this whole rap ****


He better go capture this moment and hope it don%26#039;t pass him


You better-lose yourself in the music, the moment


You own it, you better never let it go


You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow


This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo...


You better-lose yourself in the music, the moment


You own it, you better never let it go


You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow


This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo...





[Verse 2]





Souls escaping, through this hole that is gaping


This world is mine for the taking


Make me King, as we move toward a, a new world order


A normal life is boring, but superstardom%26#039;s


Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder


Homie grows hotter, he blows it%26#039;s all over


These hoes is all on him, coast to coast shows


He%26#039;s known as the Globetrotter


Lonely roads, God only knows


He%26#039;s grown farther from home, he%26#039;s no father


He goes home and barely knows his own daughter


But hold your nose %26#039;cause here goes the cold water


These hoes don%26#039;t want him no mo%26#039;, he%26#039;s cold product


They moved on to the next schmoe who flows


He knows dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera


Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it%26#039;s old partner


But the beat goes on, dah dah dum, dah dum, dah dah





[Chorus]





[Verse 3]





No more games, I%26#039;ma change what you call rage


Tear this ************* roof off like two dogs caged


I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed


I%26#039;ve been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage


But I kept rhymin%26#039;, stepped right in the next cypha


Best believe somebody%26#039;s payin%26#039; the pied piper


All the pain inside amplified by the


fact that I can%26#039;t get by with my nine to


five and I can%26#039;t provide the right type of


life for my family, %26#039;cause man these god damn food stamps


don%26#039;t buy diapers, and there%26#039;s no movie


There%26#039;s no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life


And these times are so hard, and it%26#039;s gettin ever harder


Tryin to feed and water my seed plus, teetertotter


Caught up between being a father and a primadonna


Baby momma drama screamin%26#039; on her too much for me,


To stay in one spot, another day or not


Has gotten me, to the point, I%26#039;m like a snail


I%26#039;ve got to formulate a plot, or end up in jail or shot


Success is my only ************* option, failure%26#039;s not


Mom I love you but this trail has got to go


I cannot grow old in Salem%26#039;s Lot


So here I go it%26#039;s my shot, feet fail me not


This may be the only opportunity that I got





[Chorus]





You can do anything you set your mind to man








What is really really crazy is how dishonest and cruel some people in this world can be, how unflinchingly criminal they can be such as hackers and such, druggies, just to get their own way, how they can hurt other people and not think about any of it for another moment just to get their own way, that floors me! that is never nothing that I was about so if I finish last at least I finished clean, and honest, and fair, and to me that is the most important thing in life,
Reply:Definitely.


Only recently have I taken the thought that we do not carry on existing after death seriously. And I watch people being miserable and being angry and just being agitated in general and they%26#039;re not thinking about how to make the most of things.





Even if we are not able to control what we are doing, we have a destiny or fate. We do have the ability to control our attitudes towards things, so we may as well.
Reply:lol.....


its not crazy, but it sounds crazy when you ask it...


thanks for asking btw.
Reply:Crazy is an understatement. Life is full of misery, loneliness, suffering, and it%26#039;s all over much too soon.
Reply:Not really, as the next is ever lasting...use good judgement in this one!
Reply:Not at all. By definition, life is a one shot deal. Without the impending fact of its eventual death, can you say an entity is alive? No. To be alive is to face death. This is an obvious truth about life that can be easily observed.





There%26#039;s no cause for believing about life that which you don%26#039;t observe, but only imagine. Assumed characteristics such as afterlives, eternal lives, re-doable or repeatable lives, don%26#039;t come from an observable definition of life, but from an imagined one.





Another idea that contributes to making the truth of a one shot life seem crazy, is the confusing of life with consciousness, as in thinking that when the body dies, the consciousness persists (%26quot;lives%26quot; on). People will often refer to consciousness by other terms, such as mind, spirit, or soul.





It should be obvious to everyone that life and consciousness are not the same thing, since throughout life we often drift in an out of consciousness (deep sleep, anesthetic, coma). However, we all identify our person-hood with the contents of our consciousness (thoughts, memories, emotions) and through misappropriation we start thinking about our person-hood as if it were our life. What%26#039;s an unconscious life after all? Well the answer is that it%26#039;s still life, though probably not one we%26#039;d all be so eager to preserve.





Now, this bit is very interesting to me: the fact that in observable practice it%26#039;s obvious that life and consciousness are different things, apparently leads to further of the misappropriation, until the point is reached where people think of themselves as having %26quot;dual%26quot; lives, a physical and mental one. From this point, it is only a step to speculating about where the mental one is to be found, and what happens to it when the physical one dies.





Of course, no such life is ever observed, however, because it doesn%26#039;t exist. Consciousness is not life. It is a feature of a specific type of life, namely animal life. It leads, in human beings, to highly developed %26quot;identities%26quot;, which should never be confused with the life that bears them. As a feature of life that they are, they %26quot;expire%26quot; along with it.
Reply:It seems so. I%26#039;m not sure why it seems %26quot;crazy%26quot;, but it does. Presumably, this is how it has always been, yet, somehow it doesn%26#039;t feel %26quot;natural%26quot;, does it? You would think that after eons of evolution, we would be %26quot;hard-wired%26quot; to accept such a notion. On the other hand, some might suggest that experiencing discontent and incompleteness increases the chances for the continued survival of the species. Maybe recognizing and acknowledging the fact that we only have one life, and thus recognizing the importance of the choices we make in an otherwise meaningless blip of time which we call a life-span, helps us make better use of our time.
