We move!!

Life's situations always find a way to remind us of certain realities when we start slipping. Even when we're still on the right track, we never fail to see something that remember us of some of our values or those things we know are the reality. Sometimes after these kind of experiences, it becomes more ingrained in our mind where we never forget it. That's one of the uses of those religious books you see: the Holy Bible, the Holy Quran and the Scriptures. We know most of the things in these books but we still refer to them, just to remind ourselves of certain things.

My awesome sponsors I thank you all from the bottom of my heart 

So, I had been as broke as a beggar today and my big brother sent me some money. I went outside the school to the nearby ATM machine outside school since it seemed like all the ATM machines in the school have held a meeting not to dispense any money tonight. After withdrawing the money on my way back from school, something terrible happened. Something that happens all the time but still we always get shocked when it happens right in front of our eyes....a motor accident!!

It happened right in front of my eyes immediately after I've crossed the road. Although I was so shocked that I immediately fell to my feet, I caught a glimpse of something quite terrible. A car with people inside came with full speed towards a tricycle who also had passengers in it, hitting it with full force from behind. The tricycle hit another tricycle in front of it with a force lesser than the one with which it was hit. It was like a chain reaction. The front of the car was crushed while the tricycle with which the car had a direct impact with looked like it collapsed. The se one tricycle only had a deformity at its rear. The passengers in the tricycle were very lucky as they managed to realize what was happening just before it completely collapsed and they, including the driver, quickly hopped out of the tricycle. They had injuries though. The driver had a very big injury to his head and to his back while the two passengers managed to escape with injuries to their legs only.. at least that's all I noticed at that time. A beautiful elderly woman in the car that did the hitting also got affected as well as well as the driver. I wasn't quite sure what was the matter with the woman but it seems her leg was also affected because I saw her holding unto a packed motorcycle nearby and crying. The driver was rolling on the floor, it seemed to me it affected him really badly.

While all these was happening, I looked up and realized that no other vehicles stopped. Even those who stopped only stopped to view and they were all gone in an instant. Vehicles kept moving and moving because they all have a destination they are heading to and then it struck me, "the world never stops because you're in a bad predicament". Of course this is a universal truth but the reason I "re-realised" it was that there's something that I am terribly holding on to and it seems to keep going away. It made me connect my situation to what just happened and I just smiled.

Each and every one of those vehicles on the road have a destination they're trying to get to. Even the ones involved in the accident had destinations before they were met with the accident, and they will never fail to keep up on the route of their destination once they've gotten over it. The truth is that no one stops their own journey just for you as the world is a race and everyone feels they need to move fast. Everyone is going somewhere and you are either part of journey or you're not. You are either a motivator or a hindrance, either way, the journey continues. We never stop moving on this life. If those people had died in the motor accident it wouldn't have changed a thing. Infact their loved ones will still eat.. Humans always find a way of moving. We move!!!

Talking about how short and sometimes seemingly meaningless life is, anytime I see a cadaver, I always think "this guy once had a family, he once had loved ones and those who cared about him, he once had a life but now, he is just a cadaver used for teaching student gross Anatomy." It sucks sometimes and you feel like there's nothing to this life. Once you're gone your story is over. No matter how much you think you're loved by people, no matter how much you think you matter, no matter how much you think you're special, all will come to pass and you'll eventually be forgotten. Sometimes you don't even have to die to be forgotten, so what's the point of not enjoying life? No like seriously!! This served as a reminder for me and right now, I feel like I have completely let go of that thing that has been disturbing me. It is really not worth it, and to you to dear reader, that thing that has been disturbing you matters, but it doesn't matter to the extent that you shut down important aspects of your life just for it. Leant to move on.

As for the victims of the accidents, I and other passers-by offered whatever help we could offer at that time. Luckily there was a chemist shop nearby and I assisted on dressing the wound of the tricycle driver. The school hospital was the closest so they were taken there and I hope they get better soon.

Thank you for reading.
