Give it a thought. You are born, you spend most of your life working hard, trying to make something of yourself but when you die, you simply go back to where you started and you end up with exactly what you had when you started… nothing. Yes, this world is ironic. Life itself is ironic.
So How can be life meaningful?
There is an interesting character in me. I have an interest to observe people in crowd. It might be because of my behaviour that whenever I am out and idle I just look at the people around me. The person who first catches my attention in such situation would be the one who is different than the other in the crowd, the one who seems to be in same situation as I had been in sometimes in my past or even some children.
Sometimes its really funny to watch, some people make us realise that how lucky we are, some are pathetic and some inspire me.
I try to go through the person silently, trying to know what might be in their mind. There are lots of people who had inspired me and they would be unaware of the fact that they just had got one more fan.
In my eagerness to know about people from different demographics, Grandma is different. She is my neighbor who lives just opposite to the place where I live. She is 84, sick often and lives alone. By the time I have grown a good relationship with her. She has poor sight but still finds me the one who reminds her of her grandson. She does help us for in case we need any help. The thing to observe with her is that she is too weak to walk and often complains with me that she doesn’t want to live any more. I always tell her to have fun. And she finds it very funny. Lolz. She tries to make sure that we get the things we deserve in the society. It makes me sad that she always says she is no more living her life. She says she is just waiting for the day when she would be free from this world. So I talk to her more often for the reason that she should not feel alone. Sometimes I even crack jokes so that it brings smile in the face of the person who is not living a life but just waiting for the time to go. She just smiles and say “Beta ab to kya , Umar ho gayi , aur kya kar sakte hain”. I never accept failure and so I continue insisting her to take care of her by anyways. I just try to take some time for this just because a little care would make her happy and smile, even though a little. God bless her. . And pray that her remaining life get colorful with more people bringing happiness in her life and making her feel that she is not alone.
“When you pray for others God listens to you and blesses them..
And sometime when you are safe and happy remember that Someone has prayed for you”
I don’t say the above action will make me legacy. It not only about leaving examples. Its about how you spend your time, moment that makes our life. I believe in making people surrounding me happy. Have you ever realised the happiness that you feel when you find out that your some actions have given some happiness to someone. Its an wonderful experience na. Try it.
Earlier I asked, “How can life be meaningful?” The only answer that I can come up with is – if your life has meaning to / for somebody else’s life, then your life will continue to have meaning after you are gone, because the legacy of your actions for others will continue to live after you are no more. Think about all those great people who made a difference throughout history. The legacy of their actions continues to live on long after their deaths. Their lives had meaning simply because their lives have meaning to us…
Life is about happiness, your happines and the happiness you give to others.
Life truly has meaning when you stop living for yourself and you start living for others.
