The dead Alive;Images Of Death

Today as my week comes to almost an end the thing that seems to be preoccupying my mind is death. It may seem strange to you but the past two weeks three people I know breathed their last. Their ages between 3months - 55years. The common denominator in all  of the three is that they died of natural causes.

When most of us picture death,darkness comes to mind. I actually searched for the images of death on Google and what came up to me was darkness and skeletons. I looked at this more critically and wondered if truly that is what death represents(deep analysis is my thing). To many of us we believe and think death is something totally horrible. Actually its the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone.

But I couldn't help but look at the people who are alive today. We continue to live in dark cocoons of  ourselves with skeletons in our closet. The truth is some of us embraced death a long time ago but look at those that are physically dead to be in horrible situations. What is the point of walking aimlessly without purpose in life? What is the aim of living and yet still harbor so much bitterness for the people around you that you live a dead life?

If death is darkness and so bad. Why do we who are alive continue to encourage harbor so many skeletons in our ward robe which is our heart? We may not have control of death and even prevent it from coming but one thing I know is we can make the choice to live in the light. Let us learn that the flesh we have is to cover our bones till such a time we shall be skeletons and cannot represent any life.

Being able to breath each moment is an opportunity for each one of us to reinvent ourselves. Its an opportunity to be better people and be that change we want and desire.
Have a blessed day.
