The transiency of life
If on the verge of death you can reminisce on some things you have done in this life, would you reminisce without regrets? Everyone in life soon or later had a debt on their head to pay; the debt of death. There is no one living on earth who will not die someday. By the year 2200, all of us living right now will be no more. Life is transient and ephemeral, then should you make any big deal out of it? No. I have seen countless people who are known for their wickedness in society, they are untouchable and they always believed they are the best until death humbles them. If you could remember your last moments on your bed, would you have been proud of the life you have lived? Will you say you have truly lived? You know that there are still many opportunities now to correct our mistakes and live our lives to the fullest. One of the painful things in life is regretting the life you should have lived while you were still vibrant.
Early morning today, I received with sadness the news of a man who died after stumbling in the past week inside his own house. This man is known to be one of the richest on our streets but he was not a loving man even to his own family. His behavior was nothing to write home about but this man died early this morning after a serious sickness that erupted from his being stumbling during the past week. The neighborhood currently feels sorrow as the family just lost a child this same year. This shows how life is so brief and why we should live a good life because we don't know when we will expire as humans. I always imagine the death of a loved one so sorrowing and heartbreaking. It's something you don't want to happen to you. Life may be so hard to live in but it's harder to lose loved ones.
Many people have forgotten they will die one day. They always hate others and do all manners of evil. If you leave the face of the earth today and people are happy then that means one didn't live truly then. Life is not all about riches alone, or the amount of wealth. It's about how well your life has positively affected others. I will like to breathe my last breath with satisfaction about the life I have lived, to be happy I have lived my life to the fullest. Did someone offend you? instead of forgiving and moving on, you still hold grudge against such a person. You shouldn't live life harboring bitterness in your heart. You are met to live a happy life. Don't live a life where you have to be fighting others every day.
You can talk to someone today and tomorrow they are long gone. I wish I could leave forever? If there is immortality I will like to pay the price. I dreaded the day I will bid my parents when they are so old and leave this world. Well, it's a price every child has to pay right? If you could live forever, will you? Instead of trying to dream about the impossible, it's only better to appreciate your loved ones when they are still around with you and not when they are long gone into the dust of the earth where loneliness looms.
