DEATH AND THE ENIGMAS OF LIFE

A very special girl died this Nov, putting an end to her suffering of many months that was not letting her live, nor allowed her to die. She was suffering from a disease that had become incurable. At last, she decided to put an end to her suffering.The saddest part is that she refused treatment and chose to suffer silently, alone.She was brave nevertheless, but her heart gave in at last.

So many young people die every year.She was also one of them.What was special about her?She was a representative of all that is pure,innocent,good and worth respecting in human beings. She was born with a physical deformity-part of her palm was absent in her since her birth.She was a bit sensitive about it and tried to do everything normally in order to prove to the world that she was not to be pitied. She hated being pitied. Once when some one told her something about her deformed hand, she was so hurt that that very moment she left her job and everything in Bangalore and just got into a train without knowing where she was going.

She did things beautifully. In her presence, the house remained neat and clean. She had good taste. Seeing her moving around on a cycle was a joy.She was thin like a stick, but her soul contained a sea of love for all the people she knew.When she completed her MBA, parents suggested her to produce a certificate meant for the physically handicapped and get a good job in Orissa.But she refused to do so and got her first job competing in the job market.

We all know that we all will die one day.But when young people of worth die, the society loses a member with some possibility. And when good people die, the earth is short of the positive forces they carried with them.Death often comes untimely and snatches away good souls who enriched our life and the society. We think, may be we could have done something to save their lives. We repeat the cliche' may be God loved them and wanted their company, but the loss is never made up for.We grieve the loss and ask the question- why good people only? But there is no answer to it. Life and death are enigmas nobody has ever been able to solve. Untimely deaths of good people teach us things that we should be careful and try all the possibilities of saving a life, avoiding dangerous living and remain good so that when we go people
would remember us for our goodness.That's a hard task though.
