Spare the ROD, spoil the child; ain't that what the "good book" says?
Death!
What makes one tick? What defines one's existence after he is dragged away by Death? How do we handle the loss of a loved one? What offers restraint and comfort at such a time as this?
When a stranger dies, the realization of “that could have been me” erupts within our minds. When a neighbour dies, the knowledge of never seeing that person again burns deep; regret and a rethink about the excesses of our own lives come into play; and a tear or two might even be shed on such an occasion. But to lose one dear to your heart hurts more than anything else. To have a precious person who had once played the role of a father, mother, bruva, sister, lover or friend yanked away, makes one think not just of “that could have been me” or feel that burning sensation with a tear or two. It destroys fences built and exposes one to the truth of life...
Joy at birth, sorrow at death!
Until one experiences emotional extremes prevalent on any continuum, one isn’t.....one just isn’t!
Ahh! Birth and death...birth breeds purpose, death exposes essence!the purpose? the purpose is to affect as many lives as possible for the positive and make it count! The latter displays worth and the ability one possessed for the fulfilment of that purpose given you at birth....guess it could be related to lectures and examinations....
Death...its complexities cannot be analyzed by the physical eye or the mortal mind. However, at the point of experiencing such experiences, remember...
DEATH IS....!
It just is!
...I wrote this four days before Chingy died and I can't help but dedicate this to her! what a way to start the Nu year... It's bin a while since I last felt this misery and it still hurts like Hell to experience it all over again.Someone once said "GOD IS TOO ORDERLY TO MAKE MISTAKES"...I choose to believe in YOU. Again...Thank you!
N.B: I also dedicate this to Mrs. Adediran (Ife and Dara's mum) who died on the 20th of January 2011.
RIP Superwoman (1960-2011)
