Life and Death

For Life and Death are one, even as the river and the sea are one - Khalil Gibran

For out of dust you were taken, for dust you are, and to dust you will return - Gen 3:19

Death is a strange thing, it is so linked to life, yet at the same time, so far from it. Often when death occurs, those who are left behind find their lives tossed around. No longer will the deceased be a part of their everyday lives, no longer will they be able to share life together, death has separated them. Everyone knows that death will occur, we will all die one day. The mystery is when, none of us know.

With the death of my Grandmother, I have rethought the meaning of life the real importance of it. I concluded that the most important thing in life is Love. Without love, we have nothing, we are nothing. When there is no love, there is no peace, there is anger and fear.

The most important love is loving God Almighty. If we are able to accept His unconditional love, we are able to love Him and others.

When we love others, our relationships flourish. Yes it is difficult, there are some people I find hard loving, but when I do show them love they brighten up and our relationship is strengthened. Showing hate is easier, but showing love is more worth while.

Life is short, we need to make the most of it; for ourselves, but also for those around us. We do not live in isolation, we have to interact with others. Showing love in our interactions is more worthwhile than harboring hate.
