My simply Reflection

He was only 32. It was his 1st day working in town. Both parents were living faraway from town. He was looking forward to a new life. What looked like a new beginning got soured soon after. He felt a sudden chest pain like a knife stabbing his chest multiple times. He got no one to help but his colleague who brought him to the hospital. Soon, he collapsed...
The medics tried to resuscitate him. He was hanging on there waiting to see his parents who had no idea what was happening. The clock just struck 2am. Both parents were unreachable. He made a sudden turn, and again his vitals crushed to low point. He knew he was not able to wait longer. There were many flashbacks and questions playing in his mind. 'I should have......', then the ECG went flat line.

Many times we don't realize there ain't much time to accomplish what we want. We delay our trips thinking that we have still so much time to pursue. We never say "I care, or I love you" because we know we will be home soon again to say it the next time. But how many 'next time' are there left for us? No one could answer besides the ONE ABOVE. Quickly I took out my phone and started calling my parents.

I got a book with the title: Don't wait to cultivate. It simply says that everyone has a good heart to give or make good deeds while alive. But people tend to start doing charity or being remorseful after they got old. This is simply because they think that there is ample of time for them to be a good person later. But how late is considered late? Or wait till it's too late?

I am trying to live life to the fullest. Looking at people departing without accomplishing their wishes and people who grow old not able to fend for themselves anymore, tells me that time is vital, essence and never reversible. Hence, what you do today might reflect only so much you could do in life. I want to be a better person. I know it's not easy, but at least I will try, and I am still learning. I want my family and loved ones to know that I love them, although at times we don't agree with one another. Perhaps life is like a glass. One can look through from the outer side but it's virtually fragile in the inner side.
PS: My life is full of sin. But my courage never go thin. As I reflect into the wind. I pray for forgiveness for my being.
