Death a tragedy or lesson?

Recently a sudden demise of a celebrity has affected me somehow. And after that, I saw people posting stories like, forgive people and talk to those you haven’t in a long time because of any reason and you never when you will be having a word with someone for the last time. And I felt like all of them are saying things just because it’s the right thing to say at the moment. But not actually following themselves, or maybe they did, I cannot say. But all these things go in “Trend” for the time being and all those people go back to living the same ignorant life.

We humans feared the most is Death. Maybe because it is uncertain, no one knows when will be the last breath they will take. Death is cruel, mainly for those who are left behind without their loved ones. It is like death deals in a way of “give and take”, it says if I take the pain and suffering of someone, you will have to bear living without them. Death is a tragedy or a lesson, I haven’t gotten the answer yet.

Death news affects us all. Whether it’s someone close or someone we have never heard of. Every time I hear someone dies suddenly, untimely, it affects me badly, for few days. My heart goes out to the family and loved ones of that person. I feel this happened to everyone, I don’t know. It scares me; it scares me for my loved ones. It scares me to even think of death.

We are living in a trance that we have forgotten that life is for a limited time period. Someday the time will end and we will have to leave, our loved ones have to leave. We go on living life like it’s a burden, a responsibility, but is it?

Every time something like this happens, everyone goes around posting on social media, like talk to a loved one, forgive people and things, life is uncertain and things. I am not criticizing them for this, I myself do such things and currently, I am doing the same through this blog. But the thing is we all forget this entire thing in a week or two. Like why does it take someone’s untimely death to remind us that life is uncertain that we should forgive people and talk to everyone kindly? I don’t know why we all are like this. Why are we so much involved in ourselves that we forget there is a whole world out there.  We don’t even pay attention when someone near us was struggling and even if notice, we don’t find them worthy enough to give our attention to. We all are becoming so insensitive towards others. Why does it take death reminders for us to text someone or give a call to that someone?

Where does the love inside of us has gone? Why are we so lost in this world and fancy things that we are forgetting the essence of being human? Aren’t we all are superior in living beings? Then why don’t we act like superiors? Why don’t we put aside the worries of our own some time and spend time with our family, friends, or someone who is in need of support right now? Prioritizing self is important but not in a way that you forget the life outside you, you forget the life itself. Let’s love ourselves along with spreading the love around us.
