When death will conquer us
People say, you live only once! Really? No! Actually we live everyday we die only once, it’s just that, the way we live our every single day, which defines how much we really lived. So much of fame, so much of name that people wanna gain, chasing after their goals, trying to fulfill all the desires of their chaotic souls. When the time will come, people will stun! If it has a beginning, it’ll have a ending too, no matter when, today or tomorrow. When a particular person dies, what does he/she carries with him/her? “NOTHING” Even he/she has to give up their own body, on which they used to be so proud of, will be rotted and buried under the chest of the mother earth! The word “DEATH” sounds scary to some and sarcastic to some. Some people are living everyday to die, while some are dying to live everyday, quite confusing, right? But, it’s life! The life of a human being actually. A child fears to die, the word DEATH sounds scary to them because they’ve got dreams, aspirations, their mind is full of fantasy, they go to sleep everyday at night, thinking of what tomorrow exciting they’re going to do, thinking of when the morning will occur so that they could get out of their bed and jump into their zealous activity! Total careless and full of innocence. On the other hand, teenagers and adults, go to bed at night, forcing themselves to sleep, trying to stop overthinking, which continuous to eat their mind, stressing them, making their mind a mess at the end, that sometimes they end-up wishing not to be able wake up from sleep next morning or any other morning.
When I was of 4-5 years, my Grandma died, I still remember, little blurred the image seems now on my mind, her body was covered with a pure white bed cover, decorated with Jasmine flowers, her eyes were closed, she was all rest in peace, lying on the piece of a wood. People were making a crowd in front of her, no smiles were there, but faces of sorrow and grief. I asked my Mom, Grandma died? And her answer was “She became a star, you’ll be able to see her on the dark sky at night” I repeated are you serious Mumma? I waited for the night to see her on the dark and calm sky, stars were twinkling here and there, but I was not able to see my grandma near!
