An old
woman died after living a full life. So when it was time to engrave a wording
about her life on her gave, no one knew what to write. Thou she lived a full
time, she didn’t do anything much. So an elder person in that group suggested a
quote, which everyone agreed wholeheartedly. And that was, “Returned Unopened.”
One day
when we die, do we want others to even consider thinking like this about us?
Personally, no. I wish to be that person who could leave this world, making a
difference to atleast one. It can be my family, kids or a complete stranger. I
have seen people near and far pass away. And I have seen some people been
remembered even after years of their demise and some forgotten after days. I
don’t want my dear ones to cry when my time comes but I want them to miss me in
a genuine way.
All of
us are loaded with so much of goodness. Even the most horrible person will have
something good in him. But usually we are so tuned into ourselves, everything
that happens and anything we do revolve around our happiness and our good life.
Not once, we look beside us to that individual who might need a shoulder to
lean. Not once we notice well in a stranger before criticizing him. Not once we
pay for a coffee for that homeless.
There’s
only one more month to complete the book of 2014. Fill it up with gratitude,
good deeds and happy moments, rather than complaints, whines and grudges.
Happy
December to all my dear friends. Stay blessed, happy and grateful for this
moment.
