Analysis of Death: The only certainty of this world
Anil Deshapande, Mumbai. 1965 (Raver)
Death: The only certainty of this world
People often ask, “What is certain in this uncertain world?”
And I answer, “The most certain thing on this planet is the death!”
Death, which is going to happen with each & every one of us,
Whether one likes it or not or whether one wants it or not!
The most surprising thing, however, is that
We prepare for everything else in our life,
But never for one’s death,
the most certain event of one’s life?
Certainly, we all know, its coming, from the moment we are born
But still, we all try to run away from it!
Sometimes, when it comes suddenly, you should not feel
That in search of all the pleasures of life,
You did not miss living your life itself!
That’s why, before sleeping every night, review all your actions,
As to whether you have made any contribution to your life or not
Or ask unto yourself as to what better could you have done today?
So also, when you wake up in the morning, thank the mother earth
For your another day on this lovely planet and thank God as well
That you are blessed with a yet another day,
Another chance to live your life in a better way!
So, the best way to prepare for the certainity of this life is
By being truly alive every moment, every day
So that, when it arrives, you have a smile on your face
And happily & joyfully you will say good-bye to this world!
