LOST PARENT

Ever lost a parent before? then this article is for you, I remember when I was young, I always saw death as a very abstract thing. It didn't seem possible, I could not understand how someone could leave forever, how I would cope without some one dear to me. As years went by the reality of death began to form in my head, it became a fear and as the stories of death continued to spread like wild fire; it never came close to me, it was mostly one of my Dads friend who I saw once or twice in a year or a distant aunt which I never really got to know. Unfortunately death took the one person I loved very much, my mother at the young age of thirteen. I had previously  thought about loosing a parent and how I would die from grief. Although I grieved but I mostly felt pain, like a part of me was gone for good. It even made me fear death less. As I grew older I began to experience it more deeply, the most striking to me was how we all moved on. We kept them in our hearts but we had to keep living, the clocks didn't stop and time passed smoothly. On the other hand living thorough it was a more difficult venture. The sympathies that never seemed to end, the uncontrollable out flush of tears from the people around you, the stories of how she once lived and the warm nights thinking how different things would be if she was around. The hard part was trying to resume my daily activities without her, which proved difficult for a long time and how my type of conversations had to  change. My peers would praise me on how strong I was to have lost a parent and still live my life but they didn't understand, how could they?
I was just like them few moments ago, thinking death was far away from me and everyone around me. I remember how my friends would share jokes of their mothers and their funny African characters while I was mute as the thought caused me to remember my pain. Although family and friends did show a lot of love but her absence  was still a hole In my heart. As years began to grow my maturity began to strengthen, finally I understood the physical concept of life and death.

I understood that death is a part of life, an unbreakable deal which all balance lays upon. We all have lost somebody and as time passes we will lose more, but what we must understand is death gives life meaning. We may not know the day or the time it will come for us, but we know its coming, so we live our lives racing against that day. For death is no cheat and cannot be bribed,  it comes for the old and young both male and female. The experience showed me life and thought  me more of our existence in than end.  Now the pain is a memory long forgotten and the ones we have lost still live on through us.

MODERN LIFE

Life is a complex mixture of it all. A blend of Tears and smiles, a mixture of all kinds of emotions, a complete balance between good and evil. Life found a way to prepare you for what comes next, The pain and suffering got you stronger while love and happiness gave you hope. You've felt hate and you have seen the beauty in friendship. We all have lost someone to the cold clutches of death and have got someone through the blessings of birth. War and peace are relevant to those who hold the wheel ,but to the others determines the security for their lives, while wealth and riches are like the poisons that kill slowly through the length of time.
Although, in all this chaos we still find a way, some living with their bellies bigger than a whale's and at the expense of others, while some others struggle everyday single day just to stay afloat, trying to stay alive. Whichever way we Live, because that's all there is, and in death to few are certain of its destination.
So for those who choose to live, they look for a way, a system , a path to take, a journey through which they will experience this lives they were given. Maybe we are all the same in just so many variable conditions to live.

So we start our journeys aspiring to be something, someone relevant, someone who will be remembered. The problem is that so many make mistakes here. They begin to see false characters, imagine and fantasize about the ease of success and forget the pains and suffering that most come before. Most of us aren't happy about our lives because we spend it all trying to be like someone else. And continuously the chaos is fed and a glistering cycle continues without end and wealth and riches fuel its undying rage.
Although the consciousness is shifting, eyes are beginning to open and minds are beginning perceive the surroundings. We are beginning to see its a program bent to control us, created to subdue us and keep us here, believing that the physical world is all that matters. As time passes our lives shorten and an end it must come to. We have seeds and as we leave they replace us in the continuous cycle and the balance is kept.
So really life is but a passing shadow, a quick flic of experience and what comes after is believed to be a lot of things. The only way to escape the modern life prison is to open up to the universe , let it fill you with knowledge. Fight the constant hypnosis of what they think and what they are telling you to do. Free yourselves from the chains of this world and experience through happiness, because the system wasn't built for you, it was built for the ones who created it.
