Talking about Death…

We often hear that although we may die someday, but our souls are immortal. They are not affected by deadly weapons or heart attacks. When the body decides to leave the planet, the soul finds another body and thus, continues its existence here.

After getting rejected twice by Piyush, I gathered myself again for the third time. And hopefully, this one won’t be turned down by him. Feels as though it’s been ages since I posted on my blog and I feel so sorry about it. A big apology to Piyush first, and then to all our blog visitors.

Continuing on the topic of death - Unfortunately, people don’t give death a lot of thought and importance. They spend their lives worrying about absurdities and put things off. They fail to notice the important moments. They avoid taking any risks, because they find it dangerous to do so. They crib a lot but are scared to take any action as it may affect their future. They want everything to change for the better or the other way round, but somewhere they themselves are afraid of the changes and hence, are not ready to change themselves.

If death got a little more importance in our lives, we would probably never hesitate to confess our love to that someone special, we would never fail to lose touch with someone really good, we would take up all the risks in life, we would act a little more crazier and be a little more of ourselves. Materialistic things may then take a back seat and so would be the run for money. Peace and sharing the best of oneself with others are all that would matter to us.

When people retire, they often want to see the whole world. They want to live a more carefree and light life. This is because they have spent all their years earning some decent cash and living a decent lifestyle which they weren’t really happy about. Now that they know that death is nearing them, they want to do all that they wished for throughout their lives. If the realization - that death being just next to us and could embrace us at any point of time creeps into our head, I bet everyone will be a different person then. No longer will people put on fake accent or behave irrationally. No longer would they crave for branded clothes or wish to meet some Bollywood film star.

The ones satisfied of their life often say, “Today is as good a day as any to leave this world.” But a wise man would say, “Death is always sitting by your side so that, when you need to do something important, it will give you the strength and the courage that you need.” I was really foolish as I was shitt frightened about death. But now, I am sure that one day or the other, everyone has to leave. And only those who accept this fact are prepared for life.

I would like to thank Piyush for helping me realize this and preparing me for my life. I would call him insane earlier whenever he wanted to write on death or suicide. But now I think, sometimes a billion people can be wrong against one level headed individual!

Kudos to you Piyush!
