Notices of death …………………..



( it took me about four decades to walk and complete just 42 yards of this footpath. i am still at the beginning of the cleansing process. i noticed few notices of death while trying to cleanse at least a few more yards/feet of this path. i thought to keep them without cleansing them/erasing them - i wrote this note few months back and this is not a edited version, you may find confusing ideas, sentences , etc i decided to post this as it it is just to remind you something about life and death is something that you find unedited and unpredictable, confusing ( not always) version of a printable document.)

What do you do when you notice a notice of a death somewhere along the path you walk everyday or every other days or so? Do you generally stop at such places for a moment or you just proceed without even bothering to read or turn your head towards the death notice?

We live in an unhealthy world. It is alright even if you disagreed to this idea. It is so brilliant if every one of us can think of our own health conditions than anything else in our life? But the truth is that the person who writes all these and keeps them before you is too careless of her personal health care. This is not news but an idea for you the importance of killing the tyrant called ‘carelessness’.
That is the truth I believe. What do we really lack in our lives have you ever thought of that? is it the money, friends, someone to share your true thoughts of life, to share a teasing moments with dear and near ones? I think it is good if I try and refresh my own mind and direct it towards such a way of life.
‘Time’ comes on top of our lists of ‘wanted’. Am I right? Do you get some time free to talk to your old friends, your childhood friends, your friends that you never planning to meet, you may have met them long years back for the last time. True that you should have a priority list of work, life dealings and surely of friends etc. meeting the best and useful first and then if get time the meeting the rest if think useful at all. This is applicable only to the category of friends not for the category of people that come under ‘you use me I use you’ type I hate and hate such ideas.
They may have helped you in a very critical situation/s of your life before you come to a certain standard of your life back then. NO! It is not money all the time that what is worth in ones life. Just a word may be. A word that your friends may have shared with you sometimes back that lead your life towards the wonders of life and one should not forget that the people that come under this category are not using your name or the popularity to any extend.
Time has wings true and money has more wings. They have no ability of sustaining or staying at one place. They like moving here and there from time to time. Yes it is so intelligent if you save money than trying to save ‘thoughts and memories’ if one really wants to proceed further in achieving comfortable life. These things sometimes show the differences of people, the differences of different thinking the things some people value etc.
Those are the wonders of ‘time’. The time can do miracles for most of us. The time teacher teaches you these things. We all have to watch these things true with an open eye may be with closed mind. It is truly a great idea to open your eyes and shut your mind windows forever.
‘Time’ depart people, friends, and it is the ‘opposite’ sometimes. the very same time brings friends close to your window sill or to your door step.
Just forget the incidents of life for a moment……………….
Stop a while when ever you see a notice of death of somebody.
Why?
Is that really necessary?
May be ……….. Who knows? What if you suddenly see a photograph of mine on a notice? That is the nature of life my friends this is the truth that we are unable to understand or accept. I too do not want to die this soon….. how much of life and aliveness of life that I have not even really gained yet ? Thinking of those excitements of life paths I feel like living even a moment or so than I expect earlier or as written on the life pages of this sansaara.
Life is unpredictable right?
Have a close a look at those notices. May be the particular photograph of the person that appears on the notice of the death can be a person you may know.
In life, sometimes we get unlimited chances and sometimes you never know the chances of life that one gets, or the chances are unlimited. Or people may never get any chances to share their views of each other and of their friendships.
Death certificates no use that is what I believe.
Some actually never think of the value of a person when they are ALIVE and what is the point of having ‘death certificates saved somewhere that you generally keeps your valuable things. To claim the ownership of property, etc right.
Some collects certificates of death and the notices of death as collection of memories.
Some are so eagerly looking go search of ‘death notices’ just for the sake of their comfortable living.
What will happen to their certificates and notices of death I like to think?
These things may not relevant or unimportant you might think that ‘enjoying life’ is the most important thing in ones life.
True one should not suffer but should enjoy of one can really face and avoid the inevitable life circumstances.
I remember having a discussion with a few personals I knew few months back on the importance of ones ‘life’ and the notices of death.
That was solely based on selfishness and personal gaining’s. Planning to earn money out of ones death isn’t that remarkable what an easy way to earn money. What a ‘smile’ that a notice of death sometimes brings to some people’s faces unimaginable. Those are the unimaginable things my friend. Not the things that you sometimes see or hear when you walk from community to community.
In that sense even the death help us earn a living is that what some people believe.
One day you may notice a death of a young. Today I notice a death notice of a young boy born on 1992. Few days back I noticed few older people those things are not new you can notice one or two at least per week.
Don’t just ignore these things and walk stop a little and think a little ‘the importance of ones life when they are alive’
Try to analyze the pictures of the death people if possible. The living may have used the best picture that they had. You can say nothing of ‘the nature of death’ just looking at a picture unless you go and meet the family members of the death.
If you think of the reasons you may encounter various ways of death experiences, murder, sickness, accident, natural death, heart attacks …….
Life is short you are right I think it is too short. If we just die without doing or contributing something good for the society we live.  Our life will be short not in the years or the days we lived so far.
Death is not something very easy to write or discuss that generally bring some uneasy feelings to my mind.
What I tried to say here is the importance of ones life, the value of human lives; non can pre planned their death. But there is something that you can pre planed that is ‘ones life’ …………..

I believe no use ‘buying’ the world best ‘coffin’ killing a millions and trillions worth ‘tree’ ( timber) I  have not heard of any steel coffins so far. Are there any such things in this world? 

Peduru kella (a piece of mat) gives no hazards to this earth than killing (this is the right word) a tree to make a coffin. 

Respect the lives when they are ALIVE no need to send baskets of flowers, or ‘malwadam’ paying thousands of money, no use when they are no more to see the beauty of flowers or the quality of the coffin.

Protect every tree of this earth.
