Death

Yet another death! I am moved and fell extremely low.. It's only when someone close to you passes away that you realise the importance of life. Just the other day, I cribbed about being bored. "I must do something more, coz life is getting monotonous", was a comment by another family member. Today, as I logged into facebook, I was surprised to receive a message from a close friend, the message said that her husband was no more. Facing death yourself is a different matter, but when some close family member, relative or friend goes away, the vacuum created is irreparable. With that the sense of grief for the people who are left behind. How will they live their life now? is a question I ask.. Life I know will go on.

The fear of other's death is also a reminder of how vulnerable one is. Death is just a few breaths away, waiting with a smile on it's face, It's dark wings darken the shades of colours that exist in harmony. Death, is the ultimate reality, the ultimate end and no amount of philosophical intervention can make me think otherwise. A friend advised me to read 'Many masters many lives' to clear my mind and to realise that there is an after life.. I do not deny the existence of a soul or after life. I just say that death takes away life forever - like time once gone by, which never comes back.

We are left with the realisation that we have to deal with the future. The human gone, it's only the memories that remain.. The deeds done well or the the ones that weren't so good are the only remains. The family and friends that one leaves behind bereaves him, but for how long? Life ultimately moves on.. Death becomes a memory, until it strikes yet again..
