As the world mourns the sudden loss of a music legend. His words ring true. 

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today To get through this thing called life 

Electric word life

It means forever and that’s a mighty long time But I’m here to tell you There’s something else

The after world

A world of never ending happiness You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills You know the one, Dr. Everything’ll Be Alright Instead of asking him how much of your time is left Ask him how much of your mind, baby

‘Cause in this life

Things are much harder than in the after world

In this life

You’re on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down

Go crazy, punch a higher floor

Is that what we’re all here for? To get through this beautiful messy thing called life? And if we’re lucky our deeds here on earth will last well beyond our transition. So profound!! Will you use your powers for good or evil? Will you take risks in pursuit of making this life better for others which will in turn make things better for yourself as well or will you stay in your comfort zone too scared of what others will think of you? I personally want to live like Prince. Rest in Peace sir. You certainly made this life better for all of us.
