Your Last 100 Days?
Februari 11, 2022
You only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Old saying said that you won't miss something until you realize that those matters are already gone. Some might say that it is perhaps overly cliche and exaggerating in a way of desperation. No matter what it is, I believe that you agree with this sentence in a matter way. Longing for things that have gone was started when you just realize that everything is too late. It also works on the term of death. Death will always become a mystery.
No living creature can guarantee that they will remain alive for the next day. They just assume that life is there and take it for granted unconsciously. Some may not get prepared for the finale that they even don't fully put the faith on. And in this level of vein, we start missing the days that have been run through unpredictably. It raises a lurking feeling of desperation for not doing something better when we did have a chance; it is too late.
Fear of Die
Talking about death, it sounds frightening for some people, so do I. Related to my previous post (here), In my perspective, it probably comes from the inherited feeling; love and fear. We are extremely in love with worldly matters so we're not ready to leave it all behind. Or probably just because we are too afraid of the uncertainties against the journey next after our body is slowly buried in our funeral.
Both feelings are mixed and build up a perspective that death is such a terrifying lullaby to be listened. But remember that all living creatures were never been assigned with immortality, so death will become a certainty. From this part, let's believe and assume that death was there and we don't have any clue about when, where, and how we will meet our finale.
100 Days
I made a modest survey that questioned 'what will you do when you know that you have no longer time'. It was a predicted survey and became a rhetoric question that doesn't even need an answer. Most people will say something similar to "doing any good things, ask for an apology, doing happiness, or as simple as stay with the closest and loved one".
We won't rebut the fact that it is an ideal way to spend our time during a heartbreaking waiting. We start processing the upcoming scenarios based on our past preferences. The guilts may meet us like old friends and try to shape our minds to make a beautiful finale. We all would agree that we need to end the story properly and wisely. Creating an epilog and legacy that can be so monumental in a different way.
Aside from the fact that creating kindness is an option, we might forget that this kind of angelic-wise-activity was supposed to be done long before or anytime. We simply need to perform any kindness in any circumstances and not only when we realized our finale is getting closer. Being kind is not mandatory to create an elegy, it is attached to the humankind as we live in this world.
Why do we only need to be prepared to meet our death if we can do it on any occasion? Just imagine that we are being used to performing a good attitude as in praying for someone, giving our biggest smile, paying for sedekah, etc. We did it in sincerity with no burden of the finale.
Looking back at the nature of love and fear related to death, I just want to reassure you that we have more days than 100 days to be better people. We were assigned to be the author of our journey, so let's make a great story on it. I don't want to see you be that one who is in desperation just because you are late realizing that you have a limited time.
As I aforementioned before, life is sort of a binary option namely die or live. There will be a chance for us to make a great story regardless of how many days we have left. Let's start making a difference from any small things right after you finish this line.
