Death Is A Wake-Up Call To Life

Today I spent some time at the wake of an Aunt, she was my mother’s cousin. She recently succumbed to cancer, a fight that sees more loser’s than winners.

As I sat there, recalling memories of her from my life, and going as far back as childhood, a chill crept through me as I thought in resigned certainty, “there is nothing as inevitable and inescapable in life, as death”. And then I realized, to be primarily focused on our eventual end would be an even greater tragedy; simply reflecting on man’s inarguable fate, death; causes us to overlook the other single most important thing we possess and ought to be thankful for, which is life!

Death indeed is a reminder that all.. come to an end; but instead of living in the fear of what we know will one day come, I guess we should look at the other side of things, and celebrate life as often and as gratefully as we can, in our own individual ways.love is the drug online download saw v online
