Death. I don’t think many people actually spend their time thinking about it. Instead, they think about stuff that seem very important to them; teenagers are more concern about their result in finals while working adults take their job as the main priority. Little do they know that this success or achievement will never last forever. You are born into this world with empty hand, and hence, you will die with empty hand too. The reason why I talk on this topic is because recently, I watched a music video on facebook and if I remember correctly, the tag title is “when u watch this, u will know how fast time flies”. Something like that. I had posted the video in my profile and you can have a look at it but if you are a lazy bump, then this is the summary of the video: An old man, whose wife has passed away, visits the place where he and his wife usually spent time together there during their adolescent age. He recall the happy times he spent with his loves one and really missed her.
That’s the whole music video is about, the death of your loves one. After watching it, it really got me thinking on how I treat everyone around me. I always take granted on the one that I care; parents, family and friends. I never really think about how important their existence in my life. Perhaps it’s true when they said that you will never miss something until you lose it. Teenagers and adults always chasing after success and achievement and ignore everyone around them while doing so. They never realize that the ones that are close to them are the most important part of their lives. Unlike success, once the people that you love are gone, you can never get them back or find any replacement for them. There’s no way of earning the loss life back.
To prove my point, you will always see people post stuff like “Wahh.. so stress”, “Final coming, must work hard”, “lazy to study”, “Gambatte to those who goin to seat for test” in their facebook profile but they very seldom post anything to appreciate those around them.
So far, I only know 3 of my friends whose father have passed away. I really pity them but all I could do is to tell them to be strong and never give up. Easier say than done. I can never ever imagine how I would feel if I was one of them. I will be devastated and lose hope on everything. I’ll blame the world especially god on why is this thing is happening to me. In fact, I’ll punch those who keep telling me to keep moving forward and all those positive stuff. There’s nothing positive outcome from the death of the loves one. That’s why I always admire those 3 friends because they can cope with it really well. For me, the loss will be too painful for me. I guess maybe it’s because I’m weak when it comes to human emotion. I gotta start to appreciate those around me now.
