Matters After all

Ephemeral. Epiphany.
Anecdote. These are the three words which sum up in the best possible way the true nature of our life, our very own existence. A brief sojourn on the earth. A road we tread upon, that either finally leads to oblivion or infinity, we don’t even know, still the courage to flaunt our muscle power, shatter the hopes to sow the seeds of despair and anguish, to boast off, to keep someone in restrain or under the thumb, to show disregard and look down upon others quite often but surely with a vain purpose are in vogue! All such stuff merely show how ignorant we are of our own fall or the moment that may arrive soon to make things fall apart!
Life is a blessing and to love is an act of bliss. But what we encourage in, is just the reverse where the connotation of our existence suffers a sea change, the blessing turns into a curse and finally a disaster is spelt quite incorrigibly! A single, solitary thank wont snatch our sense of dignity. A simple smile around the visage wont make us subservient to other aspects. A single wish for the good of others will surely do justice in the long run. But ironically, we prefer to dehumanise others, despite the axiom that we are finite and not even a speck of dust in the entire cosmos! Where does the relevance of this life lie than? Undoubtedly in noble actions and deeds as they speak louder than the words. Hurting the heart, spewing out the venom of abuse , grinning every now and than and making others walk on the thorns of life to suffer and bleed do nothing but hail our days of doom, where no redemption of sin is possible! Only tears and repentance will be the sole acolytes and grace will be a distant story!
I must not say it is the high time and let us transform all our malfunctions into the deeds of eternity, rather I shall prefer to state that time is always there, but fleeting away fast at the same time. We cannot run to either catch or grab it, but can certainly don’t repeat ourselves and get wrapped up in the wrong texture of life. After all life doesn’t cater a second chance!!
