Last week in our church here, a
guy died of meningitis. He was rather
young, recently married and his wife is also working here. Even thou he was a
member of our church, he never kept in touch with anyone or came to church. So
when he died actually no one came to know, unless someone from Kerala called
our parish priest and said the news. And it was with much difficulty they
identified the person and their residence and did all the legal formalities to
get his body back to Kerala.
As always I say and believe life
is unpredictable. Birth, death, accidents... anything can happen to a person. So why
make it difficult to the rest of the people. When the guy died, literally the
wife was to shaken to do anything. And in a foreign place she was all alone,
with a dead husband, no relatives, maybe some colleagues and some huge lot of
legal formalities. And when people from our church rushed to her, she was
relieved. Atleast she could rely upon someone.
In life it’s always important to
have family and friends and a good social circle. Especially if you are in a
foreign place away from family and your close relations, get to know someone at
that place and keep in touch with the community. There should be someone who
knows everything about us. There should be at least a soul, apart from family
or better half, who knows us to the core. Human relation are always more
important than money, profession, time and whatever follows.
If you have a person or two who
could read your mind from your voice or face, I believe you are richest.
P.S. Keep Smiling.
God Blez.
