The hardest part of trading my old Nissan Quest was giving up my bumper stickers and my favorite one said, "Why take life seriously? It isn't permanent!" This message took on completely different meanings depending on the day.
You can ask the question straight, "Why take life seriously?" and the answer "It isn't permanent" can be a straight answer. Or sarcastically, "Why take life seriously? It isn't permanent." If you believe that this is our one shot at life on Earth then you better take it seriously.
Maybe we get more than one chance at life. Like going to school. Our first few lives are grade school, learning the fundamentals. We start to get the more challenging material in middle school, and work on figuring out who we are and what we want to be. The high school years are spent going deeper into subject matter and learning to deal with distractions. At the end of each life we get to spend summer break with our loved ones. Relaxing, assimilating what we learned over the life and then preparing to go back to school with new clothes and a different syllabus.
Why take life seriously? I really don't. It isn't permanent so I'd rather play and learn. Life should be fun. Seriously fun.
