WELCOMING THE UN-WELCOMED
One should live in the Hope of
becoming a Memory! – Antonio Porcha
After pondering for quite some
time and having two minds on if I should write on this (SAD) topic or not, I
finally gave in and decided to pen it down. As a writer, my attempt is
obviously to interest readers and never leave them with a gloomy feeling,
however on the other hand this blog is about my personal views and so I guess I
would prefer to vent out ideas, thoughts and my say on any topic that I feel
like sharing!
Recently having watched the video
of Zach Sobiech (My Last few days) which has gone viral over YouTube and all
the other possible social sites where he shares his experience of welcoming and
coming to terms with his death is one of the very few videos which I have seen
and has inspired me towards living life. I am sure we all have gone through similar
other videos in our lifetime and we sympathize, get teary eyed, feel sad but
eventually move on. One never sits to think or wishes to believe that what if
you were that person, or what if you ever had a situation like that to deal
with. No one ever told us or promised that Life is going to be a cake walk but
somewhere in each of us, there lies hope and faith that we all will get up to
happier days and a better living.
Personally, I have always been
critical about life and usually like to live it with a pinch of salt. Some of
my friends and family usually sneer at me to stop being negative about life.
But when you sit and think about the same, it proves to be more practical of
accepting life as it is and expecting both – good and bad out of it. The topic
or thought of death is something which is absurdly scary and reflects
negativity which no one usually is ready to face or give into. However, I guess
I have always felt the need to give it a thought, think about it and mentally
prepare oneself in any small manner of dealing with it. I am sure there will be
a whole lot of my readers who might disagree and I am totally fine with it. (It’s
just my opinion, not a compulsion for you all to do)
Life is something which is given
to us when we are born and Death is something which is given to us when we die.
Both are equally natural and happen for a reason. No one knows why you are the
one who was born amongst the 40 other million possibilities of another baby
instead of you and no one even knows why you are supposed to die instead of the
zillion other people in the world. If we are so comfortable about the birth of
a human being, we need to be acceptable to the fact that people leave us at some
point of time and no one can have a say over that.
Having lost a dear friend in an
unfortunate accident couple of years ago, which was my first experience to the death,
something I wish which should have never happen, it took me long to accept and
come to terms with the fact. I guess we never fully accept it because there is
a part of that person which remains in us and our lives which we keep within
ourselves forever and never let go of. Life
is long and is short as well, it depends on the way we live it. But I guess
when we all accept that Life comes in packages which include a whole lot of uncertainty,
it is best to believe in happiness, live up to our own thoughts, spread love
around, accept life and death as a process and create a world of yourself which
you comfortably leave behind for each of your dear one!
P.S. – For those of you who haven’t
seen the Video.
