Life's like this

It's amazing when we think about how we got to this dimension, standing on this solid ground. All of us literally "grew" from a ball of cells, to a foetus, to a baby, to a toddler, to a little kid, to a kid, to a teenager, to a young adult, to an adult, to an "old" adult, and then to an elder. The last stage would be death, proceeding to another dimension. No one knows where it is, what is it about and what that place would be like. Thinking of it, it is sort of like we live to eventually die.

I used to be extremely afraid of death. To be exact, I'm afraid of the process of dying. I'm afraid of the physical pain and agony, and of getting breathless. There were rumours saying that the world is going to end in year 2012, and I was kind of depressed. But then again, there aren't solid evidence saying that it is going to happen next year. So, it did help to cheer me up. Ever since witnessing my late grandma taking her last breath and leaving peacefully, I am no longer that afraid of death.

No one knows when death is going to approach. But one thing for sure is that no one can escape from it. Be it dying a natural death, illness or in an accident. I'm not writing this post to depress my readers, what I want to do is to let you realise what we need to do before death approaches.

Keeping yourself and your loved ones happy is the very first thing that you should do. Next, fulfill your dreams. I understand that it is easy to say than getting it done. Well, if you can't fulfill all of your dreams, at least try to do something that can make yourself feel good and have the sense of accomplishment. Also, lend a helping hand to those who are in need. Even a simple gesture of giving up a seat on the train would be good enough to make you feel good.

There're many things you can do in your whole lifetime. Don't be afraid to love even when you've had an awful experience. Remember, our motto is "to have no regrets" :)

Because you don't get to say "see you" to your loved ones when death approaches.
