Thinking Positeavely: Every single one of us will cry one day.

I was on a flight. Finally after long time I was able to have some vacation and after two years I could visit place of my birth and early childhood. My son was sleeping with his golden head on my lap and I was just sitting there at the window looking outside.

I was making plans in my head for most of the time until airplane began to descent for landing. We reached the urban area full of houses. They looked like tiny buildings on a Monopoly board game. I thought about all the people who live there. They all have their own lives, dreams, troubles. Some are happy, other not so much.

At one point a thought came. All these people in these tiny houses, no matter who they are they will suffer. Rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, important or common people, they all will suffer in the worst way one day. One day they will lose what is the most dear to them and they will cry. They will experience pain they never did before.

The vastness of this realization was overwhelming. We don't think of this. We put this aside like something that can't happen to us. But it can and will. To some of us it already did and it still might happen again at any time.

It all sounds depressing to think of it. But is it?

Let's say that tornado is coming and will blow your home away. That's what tornado does and not because it hate you or you deserve it. You know it is going to happen and you will lose all what you have, but since you know it will happen you can prepare for the worse. It will be painful experience but not as painful as when tornado would catch you by surprise.

Our life is fragile and unstable. It's how the nature works and we can't do anything about it. We can just embrace whatever happens and just let us experience it. Both good times and these unspeakably and unthinkably painful. All of it will pass eventually.

Please memento mori but don't forget to carpe diem.
Take care!
