The Real Life

pic src: http://commania.ning.com/

Life need not be taken too seriously in the sense that we should enjoy the moments of joy, happiness, as and when they knock our door. We should not wait for some really big things to happen. Death is a reality and life is not because it is not static, it is always in a state of flux. We can lend a touch of reality to our lives by making all those small joys of life a cause of celebration of life itself. There is no treasure greater than this. Remember the first cloth draped around a new born does not have a pocket, neither does the funeral shroud possess one. "Life is but an empty dream..." as Shakespeare has said. Alexander the Great at the time of his death wanted to show to the world that he was going empty-handed.

We all realise it without doing any action... to reverse the $$ trend..until the last breath...even after the death by $$$rified sangmarmar..

That's a nice lesson. Well written! We have brought nothing, neither shall we take anything...if we realize this, life would certainly be a joyful celebration! But, till then??? :(

Take care!

Wow, that's deep. But, why did yo say death is not static? Isn't it constant just the same as change? No one can escape it, no one can stop it. It is static.
