Life

Life is the greatest gift that god has given us. You should always be thankful, as long as you have breath in your lungs, and a beat in your heart. People like Gilgamesh put their lives in front of them, and do everything they can to survive. This gift is something to fight for, something to be proud to have. You don't gamble with it, you live each day as if it were your last, but also enjoying to maximum. People don't realize the importance of life until they see it going. This is what happened with Gilgamesh when his good friend Enkidu died. The king journeyed to where no mortal had, just to see if his desitny was to live or to die. He traveled 12 leagues across the pitch black tunnel, swam to the boatman's island, and sailed across the sea of death. He risked his life in all these ways, just to survive.
