Meaning of Life
People find it morbid to talk about death.I don’t!Perhaps it’s because I’m not leaving a partner or children behind.Death is a normal process in life which happens to all of us.We move on to the next stage of a spiritual life.I believe I’d be in a better place and happier.So, why should I be afraid of death?That does not mean I would want to leave this life in a hurry either.I believe I would be in this life till I achieve fully whatever I was sent here for.I think we are sent to this world for many reasons.They could be:To educate one’s self and pass on one’s knowledge which is not necessarily academic.To love and to be loved.To care for others and to be cared by others.To empathise.To make people laugh and to make them sad so that they learn a lesson!To meet all kinds of people from whom one learns lessons.To accept others with all their good and disappointing qualities.I believe each person has different tasks in life.Life is a learning process till you demise.At this stage of my life, I still plan for my future.But am not under any illusion they would be fruitful.But I try my best.If I don’t succeed, I take it as it wasn’t meant to be.Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned.Perhaps, something better is out there for me.I mostly take each day as it comes these days and try to give my best.Some days I feel miserable, but that is okay.I feel joy by little things like someone saying “hello” which others may take for granted.That’s how much we are different from each other.I started my lines by talking about death but where am I leading to?To say that I hope I fulfil at least some part of why I was sent here before my death.Would I know the purpose of my life by then?Of course, I would. I think I already know!
