What About Death

Death.

Damn it.

I don't know how I feel about it anymore. I accept it. I understand everyone is going to die and that the only question left is "when". 

Some old, some young, some get ill, some don't and some just pass away without a notice.

It is sad when someone close to you, someone you are used to having around, dies. Things won't be the same anymore when that person is missing. 

But it's fine. It's life. It's not easy, but when we understand it, we must deal with it, and continue on. Because life continues on.

I have talked about it before, the way I see life - as a test - something temporary that we need to go through and pass. Life is not easy and it shouldn't be, by all means and all ways. It is an adventure. A hard adventure. 

We are babies, we are teenagers, we are adults, we work, we study, we learn, we fight, we lose, we win, we love, we hate, we laugh, we cry, we gain people, we lose people, we build things, we change things....

In the end, it's all about how we deal with all of the things that happen. 

The most important thing is to always remember not to get angry with God, with the world or life. But understand, learn and move forward.

Acceptance and wisdom is all it takes. 

Life.

Well, I wrote this, because of the late incidences that happened, where two of my friends lost a close family member, where one was old and ill, and the other one, was young, very healthy, and died out of a sudden heart attack. It was shocking and unpredictable. Very sad. 

I felt very weird and worried. I immediately thought about my family and how I live far away and don't spend much time with them often. 

I wanted to go and hug everybody.

I don't want to have regret. I love them, I want to be with them, spend time, help and learn from them as much as I can, before it gets too late. 

Because that kind of death happens, and people may die just suddenly, we should try to be as much as we can with the ones we love and care about, so we won't have regret when the worst happens. 

Cherish the things you have, including the people around you, your family, friends and those you care about, before it's too late.

"Live each day as if it's your last."
