Spend more time with people who value your presence

About a month ago, our neighbour died of a heart attack. He was barely in his fifties and in good health. A few months before this, in a similar incident, one of my friend’s father, while on his usual morning walk, collapsed and died. My wedding photographer’s fate, who lost his life in a car accident, was no less tragic; he was 37, married, and had a child.

We all have witnessed such instances at some point of time, and were brought face to face with life’s terrible uncertainties.

When faced with unexpected events, all too often, most of us have probably found ourselves left only with questions, and no answers. It’s so because we’ve no choice in the matter, we’re but helpless bystanders, and that is the toughest thing of all to deal with.

Hence, when faced with adversities, we even challenge god and blame himforunkindness.oncethetragedy subsides, we go back to the routine of our everyday lives, selfishly pursuing our petty desires, and taking for granted the true gift received from god — family, friends and relatives.

We fool ourselves into believing that bad things won’t happen to us. The reality is that our lives are as fragile as a clay pot, and, thus, we should try to make the best of what’s within our control. We should strive to make our lives as wonderful as we can. We should care for each other, find time to be together, and share each other’s hardships not only in the face of adversities, but at all times.
