Party I Must

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, life is too short, so party we must".

The masses of the modern day west, have largely adopted the opinion that the “party” or experiencing excessive sensual gratification at the expense of higher priorities is a requirement, or “must” for a season, at least.

This choice is often made by individuals who had there eyes open to some degree, to the potential regrets, major consequences, and self inflicted pain that comes as apart of the package deal, that is the “party”.

In light of eternity exclusively you would think the preponderant sentiment to be “ashes to ashes, dust to dust, life is too short, so get saved young I must”, however, this is not the case.

May we all look beyond the fleeting moments of ecstasy and understand the party to be the virulent poison it is, both in this present time and in the life hereafter.
