I see a rainbow in the sky and the earth ;the sun is shining brightly. I hear the hustle of cars the moment I step out of my balcony.The other is a more detailed description of the intervention of mankind. Life is not a valid stream resource in D minor for two violins. The first is the one that is not the case ; for the other two are the same. We have a lot of people who are not in the same way as the first step in their career , life goals,dreams as such.
We all have a time in our lives when we are in the process of recollecting the past few years of our lives. What does come in your mind first? How much you made in the last month? How your neighbour doesn't stop his loud remix devotional songs? What is the best way to get the best of the best in the world?
The answer is as simple as the alphabet......The first thing that comes to your mind is not monetary data but the time you spent with the people whom you care about. Not your neighbour's woofers but the whispers of someone whom you hold dear. We all know that the first and second ends of the earth are so similar in their construct but only one is inhabited and the other lays barren.
We all have read or seen movies about Alexander ; the great Macedonian who conquered anything that he could set his eyes on. On his deathbed , he had the following 3 wishes :
“My first wish is to have my physician bring my coffin home alone.
[/list]
“My second wish is scattering the gold, silver, and gems from my treasure-house along the path to the tomb when you ship my coffin to the grave.”
[/list]
“My final wish it to put my hands outside the coffin.”
[/list]
The bewildered generals feared their lives and didn’t ask for a rationale. But his most trusted general came forward and finally did. Alexander did in fact provide his reasons for the odd request:
“To let my physician carry my coffin alone is to let people realize that a physician cannot really cure people’s illness. Especially when they face death, the physicians are powerless. I hope people will learn to treasure their lives.”
[/list]
“My second wish is to tell people not to be like me in pursuing wealth. I spent my whole life pursuing wealth, but I was wasting my time most of the time.”
[/list]
“My third wish is to let people understand that I came to this world in empty hands and I will leave this world also in empty hands.”
[/list]
Some may retort by saying that in this day and age, technology is far more equipped in the healthcare sector. But drawing an analogy ; in the yester years you had to sit in front of the camera for 5-10 mintues for the imprint and now everything is touch and go. Go figure........
