PART 1 (The Breakthrough)
Many times I tried to write about this topic but I ended up backspacing the few words which I’ve wrote and then remain silent.
Certain things hit me up and I’m feeling sad about it and I have no other choice than letting it out now. Even now I don’t know where to begin but I just want to write to let it out.
The picture above illustrates human life cycle and phases where every human being on earth would have to go through it. But what if our life ends halfway there? What if we didn’t go through all the phases orderly till the end?
I realized that the demise of our loved ones gives a huge impact in our life in the present and in the future.
At one part of my life when I was at home for months and haven’t pursue my tertiary studies yet. That time many bad things happen around me especially death. People are leaving from their loved ones forever. I was at that age where I don’t understand the pain of separation and how to handle those situations.
I was broken that time. I thought what life is. Why are we struggling so hard to achieve in life and suddenly our life are gone within a glance or a second?
We were brought up by our parents by facing lots of difficulties.
They faced a lot of hardships
To bring the best of us
To learn the good manners
To give and take.
To be a good person
But all of a sudden our life are gone just in seconds.
You can be very successful
You can be very good person
You can be anyone.
And life are gone just like that no matter who you are.
Because death needs no requirement!
Those situations questioned me alot. I was actually in the midst of deciding about my further studies and I can’t make it delay anymore. All I needed was more time to console myself to learn and understand the nature of life.
Sometimes I asked silly questions to myself like ‘why I should go study and waste all the money when I don’t know when and how my life will be taken?’
Until then we should only be happy and care for each other. Because if you think back about the whole day what you did and all that, you only remember the things which made you happy and made you smiled at the end. And that’s what made you sleep better every night.
PART 2 (The Ability To Understand The Nature Of Life)
Why this should happen?
I’ve always have this question on my mind until I grow older and realized that I should not question about it to myself or to anyone. Like I said earlier, I need time to understand the nature of life and now as I grow older, I begin to accept and understand the law of life day by day.
Whenever I got to know about any death news, I have my thoughts about it, I feel the pain one might felt after losing someone, I console myself, I pray for them, and then I detach myself from it.
When I tried my hardest to detach myself, I console myself that there’s no way other than accepting what has happened. Death happens everywhere and every second. Just like birth. And that’s how life is meant to be. I kept on saying to myself that things will be alright.
I promised myself
To be grateful for what I am having right now,
To value the remaining time which I left to live in this world,
To value each and everyone in my life,
To be good and spread positivity and love as much as I can,
To seek the purposes of my life without hurting anyone,
To always serve the needy ones,
To give the best I can to the Universe.
But there are times where I literally can’t do all those things I said just like that. It’s hard to detach myself from the bad news especially when it’s a shocking demise. My heart just goes to the whole family members and pray for them.
Back to reality,
We are all in the set of life’s racing track right?
Some are just about to start, some at the beginning, some in the middle and some are about to reach the finishing line. And in the midst of this racing, we experience a lot of emotions and we met a lot of people. We go through phases of life. We witness our growth mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
I remembered the saying
‘Live life as if today is your last day’. To be honest, initially this saying consoled me to live the life just the way I wanted to be as if it’s my last day but eventually I forgot about it day by day. Same goes to you too right?
We eventually forgot about it when we’re in the midst of hustle and bustle.
We eventually forgot about it when we met the chaos of life.
We got angry, frustrated, depressed, stressed out over something and spend most of the time living our life in the opinions of others.
And just like that we kept on going with life to meet the goals.
And then things like this happens again and it acts as a reminder for all of us to value each second of our life.
We should face everything by our own. We must have the ability to take it positively and always remember that God did that because He knows we can go through it.
There’s no way out. Be good and do good. Give out love as much as you can and be kind to everyone. And not forgetting to be grateful for everything we’ve got. That’s the least we can do. So that when death knocks your door, you can feel the ultimate satisfaction in your heart that you’ve lived a purposeful life while your soul makes a way to the heaven.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for spending your time to read my thoughts. This write-up would be more meaningful for me if you promised to yourself to value each moment of your life and be grateful for it ✨
