Who Will Remember Us When We Die

Have you ever imagine, when the time comes and your soul leaves your body, what will happen to others, how they will they feel.

Well all these things depend on how you live your life now. Nobody wants to be present on funeral of a person that they never liked. But at the same time if you live your life with happiness and you are the reason for someone’s happiness, the other people will never forget you. In today’s world , everyone has forgotten the real meaning of life. Nowadays we are not living life, nowadays we are a part of a race, a very long race. And sometimes we forget that every race has a end. And instead of finding that end, we never stop running. Our whole life is the part of that race. Many people say that childhood is the most peaceful stage of the life. And every adult miss that stage, because they know that this race has been a loss for everyone. And this loss makes us selfish and we forget the most important thing in the life, being kind.

How can we expect kindness from other people when we are not doing the same. According to an old story, a man with serious illness was wheeled into a hospital where another patient was resting on a bed next to the window. As the two became friends, the one next to the window would look out of it and then spend most of the times delighting his bedridden companion with clean description of the world outside. Sometimes he would describe the beauty of trees, sometimes he describes the game children use to play, and funny things happening to the people who were walking by the hospital. However, as the time went on, the bedridden man grew frustrated at his inability to observe the wonders his friends described. And eventually he grew to dislike him and then hate him intensely because of the jealousy for the view.

One night, during a bad coughing fit, the patient next to the window stopped breathing. Rather than pressing the button for help, the other man chose to do nothing. The next morning the patients who had given his friend so much happiness by recounting the sights outside the window was pronounced dead and wheeled out of the hospital room. The other man quickly asked that his bed be placed next to the window, a request that was compiled with the attending nurse. But as he looked out the window, he discovered something that made him shake: the window faced a stark brick wall. His former roommate had made up the incredible sights that he described in his imagination as a loving gesture to make the world of his friend a little better during a difficult time. He had acted out selfless love.

This story never fails to create a shift in our own perspective when we think about it. To live happier, more fulfilling lives, when we encounter a difficult circumstance, we must keep shifting our perspective and continually ask ourselves, “is there a wiser, more enlightened way of looking at this seemingly negative situation?”

Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest physicist ever, is reported to say that we live on a minor planet of a very average star located within the outer limits of one of a hundred thousand millions galaxies. How’s that for shift in perspective? Given at this information , are your problems really that big?

We walk this planet for such a short time. In the overall scheme of things, our lives are mere blips on the canvas of eternity, so have the wisdom to enjoy the journey and savour the process.
