We all live in the world of Illusions.
A world created by us, by our own beliefs, by our own thoughts. And we believe we are the creator of our destiny, our future. We think we can control everything.
Me...., I was of the same belief, njoying every moment. Feeling proud that I took decisions of my life created my own destiny. Made choice from given options and the right choice. I thought that this is how life goes, that we have the choice and everything happens for some reason and ultimately for good.
But, one fine day my belief system was completely shaken. I realized, there is something we never thought of, we never imagine and we dont have control over. The ultimate truth, DEATH.
I lost a very close and dear friend, she died for no mistake of her, for no reason. And suddenly all plans made by her, her husband, her parents....everything was gone for toss in a fraction of second. And she...she had no choice....
My practical thought process could not accept or find any reason why it should have happened to her. Before this I thought that fate is the matter of probability. But her death's probability was 1/1000000000000....0000. How can one justify such probability?
Me n my belief system are completely shaken from inside.... I have tried hard to come in terms with the situation. But her pretty face, her effervescent smile comes in front of me and I am forced to think, why?????? why her....
But now having seen death so closely I can say, we live in world of illusions, with very few things in our control. So just live in present, "live in this moment".
Offcourse you try and make ur future as secure as possible, you try and plan it as much as possible. But in that process dont forget to live in present. As "this" is the only moment we have control over.
Life is too short to hate or crib about something or someone. Love urself and ppl around you. Live life every day....
They say pain is must as thats how you learn and understand importance of things. I could not agree more....
Pain is why we treasure happiness so much....pain is why we strive to be happy.....pain is why we appreciate people who are close to us.....so while we revel in the good things and niceties, lets not forget where it all came from....sorry for ur loss...
ReplyDeletePain is inevitable, Suffering is optional :)
ReplyDeleteReminds of a conversation from LOTR.
ReplyDelete“PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way.
GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what?
GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't.”

ReplyDeleteThe 1st things u said is true.
Well, thanks. I admire the gesture and the intention.
I do not fear my death, I fear the loss of loved ones. But all these explanations of life after death are fictional. No one knows the fact. Such explanation can reduce the pain/convince only 2 a limit, unfortunately so....
