Alright, let me think 🤔 I'll create a good will when I entered my dream, night night
Good night dear. take your time or blurt what you want to say on your deathbed without pleasing anyone since we are dumped if we may believe @anassharkawy
@pousinha what would you answer?
I'm trying to develop an answer: sorry cause the delay, but I don't work on Saturdays (I only reply to friends on Saturdays)😂
I guess I could give it a try😅
the crazier the better, use your imagination. What do you think @sbamsoneu and @jiva34 will you give it a try?
@golden-rain you are invited!
What a sad contest. Unfortunately, I have been present during several people’s passing, and it will be hard for me to write about it with humor. It's so hard that I won’t even try.
My grandmother Valentina, when she was dying, asked me: "Bogdan, what was all this for? I don’t understand, what was all this for..."
By "all this," she meant her entire life. I understood her point well, because a person goes through the stages of life: childhood, learning, marriage, raising children, decades of struggle for a better life... but then, in the face of death (especially for atheists), they can't seem to find meaning in everything that happened. Everything is temporary — both failures and victories, and before death, everything becomes equally devalued, unless one believes in the continuation of life after death.
I can add that after my grandmother, there are me and two other grandchildren left. And after us, perhaps there will be some literary works, music, or artworks. We must strive to create good art, so that it may be interesting to others both now and after our death.
The contest is not about writing about the deathbed but about answering the questions asked in the post (see link).
My grandmother never spoke for real about her life. The war, being in the Japanese concentration camp, she suffered a lot also during her childhood and was high educated. She became older than most of her children, all died in the same year (2 months) 2 generations gone.
I asked her if there was anything she wanted to do or someone she liked to meet. She said she was fine.
She mainly lived to raise the children, sacrificed herself in a way that is more than anyone ever should. No one was grateful to her and she spoke with me which my aunt hated.
Are there grandchildren left or great grandchildren? Can be but they are broken souls, spread over the globe, unable to start a new life.
I don't feel the need to leave something behind because just like @jiva34 says I believe the soul lives forever.
Does human life has a meaning other than the meaning of life of animals and plants?
Thank you for sharing your thought and experiences with death. It's part of life and from the day we are born it's countdown till the moment we say goodbye and leave the body behind.
🤗♥️🍀
Question asked by the sages.....
"Does human life has a meaning other than the meaning of life of animals and plants?"
One thing that differentiates humans from other life forms.... is introspective ability....
"...from the day we are born it's countdown till the moment we say goodbye and leave the body behind."
Some truths are undeniable........
