The Day I Live
When was the last time you woke up in the morning and think, “Thank goodness I’m still alive”? Was it this morning? Yesterday? Or maybe a day, long ago, you don’t even remember exactly when?
Have you ever be thankful of the fact you’ve got another day to see the sun light calmly entering your room through the space between curtain? Another chance to see your beloved; your parents, friends, your lover? Have you ever be thankful you’ve got another day to say sorry to those you have hurt, to pay your debts, to say a proper goodbye, in case you’ll die tomorrow?
Imagine if you were able to know when will you die, say, you only have 5 minutes left. You jump from your seat and try to call your parents or your lover. No one answers. You look around and many of your workmates are there… but saying, “Guys, I will die in 5 minutes. Good bye.” probably will only make your friends laugh or give a slight worry to them but they only reply, “Stop talking nonsense!”
So you rush home, hoping your parents and lover coincidentally are there together. This is the last chance to say sorry and goodbye to them. Knowing the 5 minutes would not be enough for you to reach home, you type a message to be sent to their cellphones. But two seconds before you have the chance to press ‘send’, you die. You just don’t know what happened. Probably a car hit you, probably your heart disease killed you… you never know. And you ask for at least 2 more seconds, so you can press the ‘send’ button and give them the least you can say, “Sorry, thank you, good bye”.
A minute before you lost conscience, you see the sky for the last time. Now you hope you’d had enjoyed the beautiful sky today, you hope you didn’t kick your neighbor’s cat for sitting in front of your house’s door, you hope you didn’t fight with your lover this morning, you hope you didn’t hurt your parents and said sorry for all the wrong things you’ve done…
Sometimes we think of too many things out of our reach and forget to be thankful to what we’ve got today. We forgot that being alive for one more day is a miracle already.
