A Piece of Thought on the Reality of Life

In my "day dreaming" state, a questioned popped out of my mind. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE OF PEOPLE WHO EXPECT DEATH'S CALL FROM THOSE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHEN DEATH WOULD KNOCK ON THEIR DOOR?

The people who expect death's call are most of those who have terminal sicknesses and they know that they only have few days, months or years to live. While the people who have no idea when death would knock on their door refers to most ordinary, healthy people.

Once a person encounters or has a terminal sickness, he or she would know how many more days are left before he or she dies. And most of those who have a terminal sickness uses his or her last days to do what they needed to do and to make the most out of what's left with them. I really admire these people. But I can also say that once some of these people realize that they are about to die, they give up on life and just wait for the day to come. But that's life! People do come and go. We may have seen a lot of people pass away and other new babies to be born on earth.

Everything in life has an end. We could never live forever, therefore, we too, like those who have terminal sickness, also have our days numbered. That makes us totally not different from them. We may not even know that we could die first than those who are diseased. The possible difference between the two is that people who know the day of their death make the most out of the days that are left with them while some people who have no idea of what day they would die just wander around and usually use their remaining days regretting for the past mistakes and wrong decisions they had.

Every time the clock ticks a second, we are moving farther from our childhood and moving closer to our death. Must we use the remaining seconds bothering to worry about what had happened in our past? There isn't any time left for that. But as soon as we are still alive, it would never be too late to do whatever we need to do. The earliest time to do what is needed to be done is NOW.

Always remember, the time is always ticking and it would never stop.
