Do it for the living


I saw this in a comment section while I was watching an Indian dance on YouTube and I think it is worth sharing. 

When I'll be dead.....,
Your tears will flow,...
But I won't know...
Cry for me now instead! 
you will send flowers,...
But I won't see...
Send them now instead! 
you'll say words of praise,...
But I won't hear..
Praise me now instead! 
you'll forget my faults,...
But I won't know...
Forget them now, instead! 
you'll miss me then,...
But I won't feel...
Miss me now, instead 
you'll wish...
you could have spent more time with me,...
Spend it now instead !!! 
Moral...... 
"Spend time with every person around you, your family, friends and loved ones.
Make them feel Special,
Because you never know when time will take us away from them forever". 
Life is too short.
Love all and Forgive all.
Strength grows when we dare
Unity grows when we pair
Love grows when we share
Relationships grow when we care....!

I wish so many people can learn a lesson from this, especially those from this part of the world where I come from. I have seen so many people who died of treatable diseases because they could not afford medical bills. Yet after they died, they were given the most expensive burial by friends and relatives who contributed so much. 

I have seen people being praised only when they have passed on. 

I have seen people being forgiven and pitied when they are no more. 

If we can do all these for the dead, why can it not be done for the living?

Don't come to my grave telling me how much you loved me, appreciated me or how you have forgiven me. Tell me now. Don't wait till I am gone.

Love me now. Appreciate me now. Care some more for me now. Forgive my errors now. Accept my little gifts now because it could be the last connection we may ever have.

Do this to everyone you come across.


My full blogging activities commence today. I think I am feeling a lot  better now. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. I still need it  until I finish my treatment. 

The next lesson on success train will be posted later today.
