Milomi's world

Many of us are haunted by the idea that we are going to die. Some of us believe in afterlife, others don’t. Some of us think that once our bodies turn into dust, our dust will roam around the world, only to help others’ dust find themselves. Some of us fantasise heaven and some scoff upon that idea.

And yet, it is amazing how we keep our heads on without fainting at the thought of death. But that is how we are. We think about the aftermath and sometimes get lost living the aftermath. And we all waste our lives dreaming about what happens after death. Whether people will remember us, whether they will tell of us.

We all wonder if it hurts. If it hurts to leave the world and what happens after that. Millions of stories talk about millions of ways, but why do we think so much about death? Why do we wonder what happens after and not about what is happening today?

Maybe after today is the aftermath. Maybe as you are reading this, someone is taking their last breath. But it is inevitable and the aftetmath can’t be dodged.

Whatever may happen, we need to stop wondering about after. For whatever we do, we will be remembered. Some way or the other. Maybe your name will be mentioned in a book. Maybe you will be told of to your great great grandchildren who it turn will pass your legend on to their kids. But we will never be forgotten.

A soul doesn’t live in vain. It will outlive all of us and stay till it, like us, is worn out.
