~~The BARE eSSeNtIaL TrUtH oF LiFe~~

An intense self introspection in a painfully narrow frame of almost 2 months has caused me to raise this basic question pertaining to the core of spirituality touching every sphere of our lives: why mortality? (A bout of tears is a confirmed outcome of this write up)

Due to the time available at hand (thanks to my considerate boss at workplace for furthering away datelines) and the constant withdrawal “we must die one day” syndrome, I am jolted back to my spirit of bizarre writing. (Blogging my reality in other words)

As a kid, I never thought about dying, not even for once. I remember having this conversation with my dear dad while he sipped on his beer and me assuring him that the day won’t be far for him to see me grow as big as him to make a toast together. What I didn’t realize then was that my dad would be growing a lot bigger as well while I yearn to grow as big as him. (I didn’t read beyond the silent amused expression my dear dad had when I said those with convictions)

Life is a great teacher undoubtedly. With each phase of my growing up years, I got my share of dose on the uncertainties of life. There was the time when I learnt to console one of my classmates and feel her pain over losing her mother in an accident; there was another time that I found myself seeking solace in the little prayers that I learnt to blabber asking for a miracle for the quick recovery of my dear mother who laid unconscious in the hospital with high blood pressure.  A time I learnt to delve beyond the bucket of tears that I used to shed while watching the protagonist of the movie die and above all, the times that I had to come into terms with this rightful conclusion about life being unpredictable for death could sweep in anytime anywhere. (I sobbed hard all that time when this fact dawned on me for I cannot face death what come may)

Today as I sit to wander on the subject of death, the first thing that I land up doing is ring my parents and hear them sound. I hear them and they hear me and that is the only way I know death is threatened that dare it even intrude in our lives.
