Obituaries for the dead need to be replaced by odes to the living.
If we knew what people would say when we died, we might just decide it is worth living.
In this day and age of instant communication, where every human being projects an image, an emotion, a thought, an idea, to people at large, we find that we are able to communicate with a large number of people but unable to communicate with the people that matter most in our lives on a one to one basis. Even while together, we are not together because we are busy communicating with so many others. Life decisions are, however taken with only a few. There are only a few who can affect you or get affected by you. Have we lost focus in our relationships, especially in those that matter or those that have the power to affect us or even be affected by us. We cannot choose to be born but we are increasingly choosing to die. Why do we give so much importance to the here and now, when our journey is much longer. What give us the right to take a life, even if it is our own?
And if it is the here and now that must affect us, then let it impact us positively. Let us remember the good and stop dwelling on the bad. Let us appreciate the small things that makes us happy and do small things that make others around us happy.. Listen more, talk more, understand the most.
We lost one of the finest in UP police today. He shot himself with his service weapon. It is so sad he had nobody to share with, about what he might have been going through...
The beautiful words being spoken about him now by everyone.... Had they told him when he was alive, he might have felt better about his situation and self worth....
I repeat..
I feel more than *obituaries to the dead*, we should shift focus to *odes to the living*
Focus on what is great about someone and appreciate that instead of dwelling on what is bad.
It might save lives.
So much to learn
😔
I want to tell you with all
