How much we love Life

Recently I came across some incidences that perhaps changed my opinion about life. You know some great people aren’t needed to change the way you see life. Sometimes small(or normal life) parables are powerful enough to modify our opinion.

A few weeks ago, Delhi Police managed to make an encounter with a gangster. A thought flashed through his mind…What if Police, instead of accepting his surrender, kill him in the encounter !!! His mind began to work like a computer. He dialed Police Control Room from his mobile, and informed them that Police might shoot him in a fake encounter. Subsequently, police arrested him from the spot, and somehow, he managed to save his life.

This parable is not simply a mind game played by a gangster, but this incident very well defines how much a man loved Life who himself took life from numerous people. Didn’t he think for a moment how much grief would the families have faced when he mercilessly murdered their kins.

It been adequately remarked by someone: Life’s a whore. Those who fall in love with it are deceived. Lines of a song:

Zindgi to bewafa hai, ek din thukraayegi
Maut mehbooba hai, saath lekar jaayegi.

So, lets have other incident:

My friend’s father expired a couple of months ago. I was shocked when I listened it. This was the most heinous thing Almight could do with her. I am speechless at expressing such feelings. Its just like you take fragrance out of flower, and heat out of fire. Let me quote her words she said to me a few days ago. Here we go:

aur yrrr.. i’ve already lost the battle…of life.. meri life toh dad k sath hi khatam ho gayi hai… abhi jee rahi hun par pata nhn kya life ha… i’m stoned… like a machine… ab kuch fark nhn padta…kisi bhi cheez se…

One was the gangster who was begging for life, and the other was this great man who is stil living in hearts. His death shattered dreams of many eyes, but he was lucky enough to have such people with him who felt a huge blank in their lives by his absence.

Some people run after life. They fear death more than anything else. They strive for life. On the other hand, there’re some people who run away from life. Life became an unsolved mystery for them. We should really become one whom life searches for its identity after we’re gone. We should become a living mentor for life, so that even if we die, life doesn’t leave us. Let life live us.

I really don’t know how many breaths are in stock for me, but I assure, every breath I spend would bring life to those hearts who have felt the light of life extinguishing within them. I wish I could again give smile to my heart. The same innocent smile which I used to get when I overpowered some next-to-impossible things for me.

In these parables, I have missed incident of a man who really wants to have another lease of life so that he could fulfill his promises, so that he could see smiles on faces he promised to bring someday, so that he could see himself as what he wanted to become – A Legend. That man won’t give up so soon.

I have missed “myself”.

Tough times never last, tough people do. I know life can be so cruel sometimes, but giving a good fight to it always makes you immortal. You should never, never, never give up. Uncle, that was a message for your daughter, and following is a birthday present for you. Happy Birthday to you. Bless me, bless all those whom you loved more than life. RIP.
