Hard to believe...

It's been a while since I actually wrote something here. Lately I have had to deal with the tuff fact of untimely departure of a friend of mine from this world. Actually it's been that way for few months. It was really hard to believe these news. Some very untimely and unfortunate departures......

To reflect my relationships with these souls is tuff. First comes to mind are the times I spend with them. Then a vacuum develops in the heart after thinking about them some time. We think about them less often as time passes by. But it's a vacuum nonetheless.

It's a fact that we all have to leave this world at some point. But I think there are some expectations that we got to meet before we leave. They may be mundane or extraordinary or societal or outright materialistic. The problem is it would be shocking to see someone leave without meeting those expectations. Especially when they leave loved ones helpless behind them and the sudden changes wrought upon those left behind. But again I think that is the nature of life. There are things that are just not in our control.

But can we ever reach a point where we accept these hard facts of life and move on without suffering much? But again as technology is getting better and humans are aspiring to counter-create humans as apposed to natural creation, it only becomes harder to accept some things as uncontrollable....

....then come to mind those philosophical words that there is nothing permanent in this universe. Everything is bound to change and change is the law of universe....you didn't bring anything into this world and cannot take anything back out of this world.....you and I, for that matter existence of any living or non-living thing is so trivial in the very grand scheme of things in this universe that it just keeps moving and moving and moving..........doesn't matter whether or not you and I are here......
