I could never understand one thing that if the Life is not ‘Bed of Roses’ but ‘Crown of Thorns’, why everybody wants to sleep on it or wear it as long as possible.
Nobody wants to die. Why?
To me, Death is the ‘Sure Shot Cure’ of every suffering of life. But, instead of adopting this prescription we all try to keep it at bay through ineffective remedies. Because Death is something, which has to overpower everything without any doubt whatsoever.
I may sound a bit too pessimistic and seem to have been nursing an escapist attitude, but I have sufficient reasons to believe that ‘Death’ is ‘Bliss’ for one whom it embraces and a ‘Curse’ to one who watches it from close quarters. That is, I cannot afford to apply this theory to my near & dear ones because it is they who make me love my life.
However, a time comes in everybody’s life when all the reasons to live exhaust and Life becomes a burden, yet he remains scared of dying. This is the magic of the Almighty.
“Ibaadat Mein Bhi Rehta Hai Hamein Jaan Ka Khatka,
Hum Yaad-e-Khuda Kartey Hain Kar Le Na Khuda Yaad.”
When we are born or are ‘Brand New’, we are invaluable for others. And when we become a burden on them we turn ‘Antique & Vintage’ for ourselves which we try to save like a ‘Flame in the Thunderstorm’.
I think ‘Death’ is the ‘Biggest’ gift ‘Almighty’ can give to anybody. By doing so, in a way, he offers the mortal soul a seat beside HIM. What more one can seek from him.
When we touch the feet of our elders, the bless us for long life. What for? To suffer longer, to crib longer or to see more and more people leaving you. Instead, the blessing should always be ‘May God Bless You With Peace’.
If I were a scientist of the caliber of Stephen Hawkins, I would have developed a device through which you could have transmitted your desire to Almighty whether you wish to stay alive any longer or want to join HIM.
I am not joking. In view of the present scenario I can categorically claim that there would have been a long waiting time to get an entry ticket to the Other World.
I wish someday a scientist would give it a serious thought and make people leave happily at their own will without attaching any stigma of big and unspeakable words.
And I offer my services to do experimentation of any kind.
