Reality.

Now this post is quite dark and probably quite unpleasant to read.

This is about the reality that we all share. No matter what, one fine day we will be dead. Dead for the rest of eternity. Game over.

And whose loss it is? Almost entirely ours. Ours alone. Born alone. Die alone. It will be a loss for our near and dear ones too. And the most unpredictable thing about death is that we don't know when will our time come. It can be decades away or it can be now. But one thing is for sure, every passing day, we are one step closer to death.

Despite this obvious fact, we treat time with such carelessness. We waste our precious time on meaningless minute stuff that won't make a difference to our lives in the long run. There is no sense of urgency in what we do. We postpone things to a distant future-I'll do this when i'm old and so and so. But who knows for sure?

It's absolutely essential that we do the most important things now. May be we should stop pretending to be immortal and start living like there is no tomorrow, for us.

Chasing your wildest and most daring dreams.

Giving happiness, time and attention to dear ones.

Pursuing your passions.

Living fearlessly.

Contributing your little share towards making the world a better place.

To stop taking life so seriously and leading a fuller life.

Time and tide waits for none.
