Just this morning our neighbor and who happens to be my god father, died. It is a shocking death for me since I haven't heard any disease he has been suffering for the months and years he was still alive. I was just shocked when his son told us he had been suffering from diabetes for nearly 3 years and each year, it grew worse. It all started from a simple wound that was not given much attention. The wound got infected and the area grew wide running from his knees up to his lower upper thighs. There were pus formations and severe redness all over the infected area. The bacteria was literally eating him alive; you could just imagine the pain. A similar wound untreated triggered another infection on his left foot. It had the same effect on his thigh. Two toes were already dead and his foot was already rotting. I can't believe it. What a pain it was. But that thought did not disturb me, it were the eyes, the gestures and the tone of voice his son had when he told us the story. I could feel he was preventing himself from crying. It was a feeling implied in each word he uttered. It was painful hearing him struggling...

Life could definitely end in just a blink of an eye. A doctor could even hypothetically declare you as dead the sooner you step in to the emergency room. Think of it, the line partitioning life and death is so thin we could even choose death!

I want to imply here that while we are still alive, we should put meaning and purpose to our life. It's a sad, sad reality to die with so much dismay and unfulfilled feelings. Death itself is already sad, would you allow some more sadness to fill-in the moment you know you have a few hours to live? The right answer would be no. Let us not allow this thing to happen.

Find something to work, something to do and while you are doing it, put your heart into it. Make use of yourself for the benefit of others. You need not to nurture yourself always, anyway you have the entire eternity to spend it with.

Look for activities you find yourself having so much fun. Fun in line with genuine and pure happiness, not just fun out from additives of chemicals and concoctions.

Put color into your life while you still can. Life is too short to put it into waste. Get tired while it still feels good, be stressed while adrenaline still flows swiftly into your motor sensors, take some sleepless nights and enjoy the feeling of getting high, commit some mistakes and find yourself a genius after sneaking out of it. Life can never be life without imperfections, flaws and mistakes.. These dark colors blend perfectly with the light shades to create a masterpiece we all call life. Paint with your own artistry! ;)
