All We Have is Now -What Death teaches us.

We, the human beings, the biggest creation of God, have lived and prospered with the times. We, the human beings have achieved pinnacles of success and successfully marched through evolution. We exist, we live, we rejoice this time on earth. But what is the result we obtain in the end? Do we even realise that our entire existence sustains on the foundation of Time. More precisely, this moment.

A day will come when we will become memories of the past. In the long run, we will die.

Do we get to take with us the money in the bank account or the luxurious bungalow we built after dying? Do we get to take with us the jewellery we accumulated? Do we get to take with us the good times or even the hardships?

Nothing.

Foremost, what we humans tend to forget is that we are here for a short span of time. A short span of time that has already been decided. It could be 60 years or even 60 days! I may be now. I may not be the next moment. You may have your beloved one this moment. You may see the same beloved one, on the pyre, burning down in ashes. Do you feel the uncertainty of life yet? When we are alive, we tend to push everything and everyone away. We even don’t realise how someone’s presence has made all the difference in our life. Can you even imagine someone’s absence whom you love like no one?

You were supposed to meet the one you love on a Sunday. You had decided to tell everything your heart had for them. You had decided to pour everything out you’d so safely kept inside you. That Sunday, you were at their place, that loved one was not! Now you live with the everything you kept with an added burden of regret.

The regret, that you could not make upto the one you loved. You find yourself in a hurricane of regret that will ghost you throughout your life. A solution? Say what you feel. Say all of it. Never keep it within you. Otherwise it’ll haunt you for the rest of your existence. Show as much love you have for that person when he/she is with you. Show them what you really feel for them.

The most important thing that you must not forget.

A person might have left you and gone. But your journey in a relationship with that person never ends. There are three people in a relationship- you, the person you lost and the relationship itself. Nurture the relationship even if the one you have loved has gone.

Death is the biggest certainty of life which needs to be accepted with both arms opened. Life has its numbers. It is death what gives you actual salvation. All we have is now! This is your moment. Shout what you feel. Go tell your mom and dad how much you love them. Go tell your friends you’d never imagined your life without them. Go tell your grandparents that how important their life lessons and bed stories are to you. Go tell your siblings that how much you may fight, love forms the foundation of your relationship. Go tell the teacher who shouted at you and genuinely carved a remarkable person out of you.

Friend, life is a bed of uncertainties. Jump in with the certainties to conquer it.

Don’t forget, all you have is now.
