Death is real

Death!!! You don’t know how real it can be until you see it. You always keep on hearing the crap ... "Death is a reality", "No once can escape death" and all other shit. But these words don’t sink in until ‘it’ crosses your face, until someone you love; dies, until you come to know that someone whom you knew, someone close to you or someone a part of your loved one’s life is gone. People die, and leave behind a void, which can never ever be filled. His near and dear ones will feel his absence forever. He leaves behind the sorrow, the emptiness, the memories, the grief and the never ending ifs and buts. People console, shed a few tears & eventually forget. Life waits for none. But the burden of death, of someone’s absence, someone’s memories is carried lifelong by some unfortunate few.

God does everything for a reason … to hell with the reason; to hell with God and to hell with all the prayers and wishes. What the fuck does God get by creating such painful and pathetic conditions? What good does he do to the family whose support he has taken away? What good has he done to the people who will bear the never ending pain? Nothing, nothing at all. This is not atheism, as some so called believers will preach. This is reality. God is nothing but a hypothetical support for the weak human mind. A means to console our weeping hearts, to support our weak souls, to find a respite for all the problems which daunt us forever. How can someone who is supposed to be a savior bring so much pain on his own children? People will justify with comments like, “God judges you through such situations”, “Everyone who has come, has to go”, and all other never ending crap. But reality is understood by those who see it, who bear the brunt, who feel it and see it on their face. They know what has happened, what has gone, what will never be the same again, no matter how much time passes away, no matter how many new layers of memories cover up the wound. The feeling will remain fresh forever. The feeling of absence. Absence of someone we loved, we loved so much that we never thought that he might be gone some day, without even giving a hint to anyone. Who will suddenly vanish in thin air, leaving us totally helpless. We had to talk to him one more time, we had to say things we always thought we will say some other day; we had to tell him that we love him so much that once he is gone, we will feel so frustratingly pathetic that we couldn’t stop ourselves from shedding a tear each time we think of him.

Live for today, live for NOW. There is no tomorrow. Whatever needs to be done, needs to be now. We never know when he will pull the string. So get up now and tell all your loved ones how much you really care, maybe tomorrow it will be too late.

aren't you talkin what i always tried to say?

well, when you say "You don’t know how real it can be until you see it." then i really go with you, coz before this you never supported my beliefs.

i always have said that people take name of God just to console themselves, just to overshadow their failure and just to hide their miserable life.

you might think that i have got an opportunity to say all this, but its not like that. I hope you get what i am tryin to say.

So what about the saying "upar waala sab acche ke liye hi karta hai?"

neways i will always have one regret that you didnt realise all these things when this happened to me, may be coz i am a stronger person from within or i know how to hide my feelings, but still i will always regret that.

Though I don’t want to comment about the God’s things here, whatever you said is true.
Do you know that only when you come across such a situation, we can fully understand what the other person is saying...? No matter what it is... Be it a proverb or saying or philosophy or whatever you call it as.
When I read this post some months back, my feelings over this post was different. It did not take too much time to understand the whole meaning of death.

A song comes to my mind, “No one has seen their own soul dying but I see my soul leaving me” and I heard many dialogues like this in so many films. Those times, I only wonder how beautifully they have written and what made them to write like this. Also sometimes I felt it’s the entire cinema world being not be practical.

Again, we will learn only when it comes to us; only when we see things in front of us, only when we agree that is true, only when you feel it…
I died some days back and I myself went to the graveyard saying I don’t want anyone to come there. Have you heard the phrase, pain of death? Yes. It’s really painful. I was in the world of death quite for a long time. Is this how death will be? And that is why we don’t come alive after this pain; after all they call u died.

I leave my life to one person’s hands than me taking again and die. That’s the same word I got it from that person. You can call the person with any name you want. (Ummm… God! Too much for him/her? Ok then... a rescuer! Too formal to call? (Is it not his/her responsibility to rescue the person who gets hurt because of them?) Ok then… a friend? Everyone has it? Ok then… may be my soul partner? U feel am expecting more from that person for saving my life? Sigh…. Ok fine…better call him/her as “author”.)

Death… how cruel it is! While writing this line alone, I get goose bumps which make me feel the cruelty of the death again! i dont want to go there again till my original death arrives...

Yes… Death is real….. !!!!
