Every moment is precious

There are times in life when you feel absolutely speechless, down, beaten to death and just out of control. You question the very essence of life, your existence, purpose and ofcourse your helplessness! Introspection surely helps one answer a few questions, try new things out, but what if a person has no time left in his/her life. What can he/she do?

All these thoughts sprung up out of deep emotion and sympathy for a friend of mine who had been diagnosed of brain tumour and he has less than a week left in his life. All he can currently do for a conversation is hear and "bat his eyelids". So much for a person who was just too boisterous and whose voice boomed in all the conference calls that we had! Bat his eyelids! That's all he can do. And what can he do now apart from waiting for death to embrace him with both his hands! He was a healthy guy, ran 6 miles every single day. I don't what I can do in this world to help him, if there is anything, I will surely do it.

How can you re-write your fate or can you not and if you cannot, why can't you? I am sure Ray had a lot of plans for his life and none of those can be fulfilled now!

This really bothers me... What are we here for? If we don't know the purpose, shouldn't we strive for one (I am not taking about a career) and work towards it? Poor Ray, my friend cannot do much now, but us all, who have all the time in this world (atleast, we are lucky to have that feeling!), should make use of our lives in a more worthy fashion and do the best we can every single day to achieve that very purpose. Hopefully, with that, when death delivers us a striking blow, we can turn back, smile and kiss life goodbye ...

I really wish Ray well wherever he is and wherever he is going to be. I believe in miracles and hope God bestows one on him...He surely has sparked something in me and I won't let that die. Think about it. Live life as if tomorrow is going to be your last day.
