The Death

Lying sick and bed ridden can give you some of the most worrisome thoughts in this world. The same has been happening to me for three days now. You cannot just keep sleeping all the time, and since you are weak enough to get up, there isn't much that you can do either.

Well, the thought that struck me is of "death"; sadly but the only truth this life holds. The birth is just a dream that will soon fade away. The duration of this dream can be any long but then, it is a dream and one day it just has to go. If it is a nightmare or a fairytale, we all know gradually. But the part that keeps haunting us always is that it will be over soon, the truth will then dawn on us.

Death, it scares me, it might be scaring you too. You sleep with a hope to wake up but if this will come true, you know not. What if I don't wake up, what if that was the last day, what if all that I am doing is left in the middle. Who all will miss me and till when. Will their lives change without me or will they move on after the stipulated 13 days.
Will they remember me as a good person who lived or will they be happy that I am finally gone forever.

Well anyway, your parents and friends remember you for a month or so and sometimes occasionally; others, well they just come for that meal and formality.

Death can be accidental or it just comes with the age. The accidental ones, you can't actually fear them because they just happen without you knowing but the ones that come with age; you just spend every single day realising that the time is ticking away and there is not much you can do about.
Then, there are people who die every day, every moment. Their morals die, their values die and they find themselves in hell even before they finally leave their bodies.

The fear of dying is not because of what will happen to the people we love, the fear is because we do not want to miss out on the happiness we would have if alive.
We do not want to give up so easily on living, do we ?

The point is, die we must but before that we should live. Our death shouldn't be just another of the many deaths we have daily. We should die as someone who lived, who accomplished it all, and who when he died, had nothing to be sad about.
The fear will always be there, but there is no time to waste thinking about it. Let it be because it will be. So enjoy, your life is a party, how well you throw it is entirely your calling. The music that you want to be played, will it be sad or happy is your choice.

There is just one wish that I have, it is that when I die, I die with a smile on my face, so that no matter what people say or discuss after me, I would still know that I had died just one death and that I had actually lived.
