“When I die, I want you to move on with life, I want you to discover the joy of life in someone else’s arms, promise me you’ll take care of yourself”
“Why are you telling me that? Are you tired of living already?”
“No, because you’re getting tired of watching me live my last”
I seldom appreciate drama flicks from back home, more so the hapless clichés of a beautiful lady dying and leaving behind her teary eyed boyfriend, and if he’s not so lucky at all he gets hit by a car and dies a more horrible death.
I think, as long as there is a need to emphasize on the science of undying love, someone always needs to die. One great irony that I am really used to watching in my dire attempt to kill my boredom especially when there’s not much project to do and the books on my shelf becomes too heavy for me to take.
One day while staying late for work, I decided to grab a cup of coffee and turned the TV on (yes, that’s how freak of a workaholic I am, coffee makes me sleep after long hours of working). Then I saw this flick that I really would not find interesting at all on a normal blood pressure, but the coffee was too hot for me, so I was glued to the boob tube for the next hour watching a cancer stricken bachelor falling in love with the nurse who takes care of him. Eventually they were married, alongside with the usual conflicts; they got through for a couple of years. What makes me frozen in the brown sofa that I was sitting (I had my ear phones on since it was really very late) was the scene where the nurse cries in hopelessness as her prince is breathing his last, he even uttered a brave question, “how do you plan to move on?”, and in all honesty, she replied in tears, “I don’t know”.
How much love could anyone give to let someone else live? I’m very sure if there’s one thing on earth that the lady nurse would do is to love her man to the point of him living, but what could she do? She’s a mere mortal, that one day she would end up dying also. That’s the sick cycle of humanity, living, loving and dying.
I can not help but remember one great story of death and life. Suspended in mid-air, parched in blood, the darkening of the clouds is none compared to what His eyes are seeing, His whole mortal body is minutes away from giving up, before that final stare to His Father in heaven, He looks down on those whom He loved, “I want you to live forever”
Yes, each and everyone of us will die, good for you if you would have at least half of your friends on your social networking site gathering before your casket, and as long as we are living, we are continually loving someone else, but not long enough, for we do not live forever – yet. The one they call Christ, who died on the cross thousands of years ago offered one great gift, no need to toss the coin, no need to consult the other half of your doubts, no need to write an inspiring blog, it is simple. He sealed it with His own blood, BELIEVE AND YOU WILL HAVE LIFE!
