WHEN A DYING MAN CRIES…

‘When a dying man cries, it is not because of where he is going which he knows nothing about, but because of what he wishes he would have done in the world he is leaving behind’


Have you ever had the opportunity to share the last few hours with a hopeless patient who is about to die in the hospital? Such awkward moments are the moments when people cry deeply with regrets and bitterness of mind. Some people wish they had never lived, some remember the steps they shouldn’t have taken, some remember the advice they shouldn’t have neglected, some remember the friends they shouldn’t have trusted and many other people spend some time to remember the things they should have done.

It is only the few people who live everyday of their life as if there are no other days ahead that can reflect and relax for living a fulfilled life. How do you live your life today? Don’t ever make the mistake of believing that you can never die. No matter how long you live on earth, someday, somehow you will die. At the point of death, what would you like to think about yourself? Whatever you choose to do with the little time that you’ve got today determines how fulfilled you would be tomorrow. Don’t postpone whatever you have to do today till tomorrow, tomorrow may never come.

Cheer up, enjoy your life, live every bit of your life with no regrets, take every responsibilities for all your actions and reactions, then endeavor to go for the best in whatever you do. Life is too short for you to remain irrelevant and idle; you may never have the second chance to make a significant impression. Remember, when a dying man cries, it is not because of where he is going which he knows nothing about, but because of what he wishes he would have done in the world he is leaving behind. What would you love to leave behind?
