Life
"I've just got the result this morning, and I've spent some time looking at it. I'm afraid I have a bad news"
Waiting in silence, nervously, pressing my hands together, and said "What is it?"
You look at me, and sighed "Your body is not holding up, the medication is not working and there's nothing more we can do. I'm so sorry".
Silence fills the room. I'm speechless. Trying to digest each word in my head.
Slowly and sympathetically you touched my hand and asked "Is there anything I can do for you? Do you want me to call anybody?'
I look up and asked "How long do I have?"
"About 1 to 2 years".
What are you going to do if you find out that you have 2 more years to live? Will you be the type of person who frantically try to find a cure or would you be the type of person who accept the whole thing and just live the best you can? Personally, I think I'd be the type of person who will accept and live it. I've never really been the type of person who's afraid of dying and I'd rather live my 2 years of life learning to appreciate the small things, such as feeling the cool breeze in my skin or feeling the warmth of morning sun. Those things that I've never really pay attention to. I'd actually consider myself lucky because I know when I'm going to end life so then I'd have the chance to make the best of it. Imagine if life is ended just like that, having no chance of saying proper good byes to the people you love, no chance of saying I love you or I'm sorry to the one you really cared about, no chance of doing what you really want to do.
What I learn from this what-if story is that even the scariest thing in life can bring out the best of life. The moral of this story is for us to realize that we as human being are all powerless and very 'little', and the best we can do is just to live life each day as if it was our last. Don't waste your life doing the things you need to do.. live life by doing the things you want to do, the things that brings you happiness as well as the happiness of your loved ones, because sometimes the things you need are not things that you really want. Do the things you want to do, say the things you want to say to the one you love.. because there might never be a tomorrow for you or for the one you really love.
