A Voyage Called Life

For every human, that takes birth on this vast planet called Earth considers himself to be lucky. Being lucky doesn’t mean by taking birth rather it means taking birth in the form of a human. Once a paerson enters this world, he has to spend nearly 80 years. Now, it’s all up to him how he wishes to spend these 80 years. After his voyage of nearly 80 years is complete, he begins his journey again, but in different form or the other. During this span of 80 years he comes across a lot of people, who would or wouldn't make an impact on his life. The very first set of people that he comes across after his entrance to the world is his parents some other relatives such as- uncle, aunt, grandparents etc. As he grows up, he isn’t confided to a room or house. He tends to extend his connection with another set of people called friends. These friends help a lot in developing, creating, as well as nurturing the social life of a person. Some of friends can easily understand what one wishes to say as well as express, but due to one reason or other, he’s not able to express it. On the other hand, there are some who just love to ‘listen’ to what one’s money says and are least concerned about one’s well being.

An important turning point comes in this voyage when one wishes to extend his family and get married, to a person who’s of his match and mental level. As situation demands, he has to take up new responsibilities and challenges. The marriage marks a new beginning in one’s own life. Post marriage, there are children which further add up as one responsibilities of a person. The man spends some 20 years with his children and in their childhood and youth he ‘sees’ as well as feels his childhood. By seeing this he enjoys and recollects all the memories of his golden days. In one’s lifetime he goes through many ups and downs, joys and sorrows, thus making him stronger. As the journey continues, it brings many situations of success and failures, one should learn from his mistakes and failures and emerge as a winner in the upcoming opportunities of life.

In this voyage, there is a mad rush among people to pace ahead with one another. But one should not limit his efforts towards achieving one’s personal goals in professional and family life. One should also strive to contribute for the betterment of society, service to the nation and mankind.

After spending 75% of his voyage, he finally bows down after completing his responsibilities and duties. He just prays and hopes that there are no regrets in his life, for all what he has done till now. He just wants the future ‘tree’, his children take care of him at that stage when he needs it the most. These last remaining 25% of his life he wants complete mental peace along with satisfaction. He wishes there’s always happiness and joy and no sufferings for the rest of his life. After some 20 years, a day finally comes when he has to end this voyage called life and say a final good bye to one and all those who were related to him in one or the other way. He’s now on the glorious path which leads to heaven, the place where it all started. If a man bids adieu to this world with peace and satisfaction then we would permanently rest in peace.

He would take birth again, but may not be in human form to look after his ‘garden’ and the buds blooming in this ’garden’.

Thus at last,

LIFE IS SHORT, CHERISH EVERY SECOND!
