the nightwalker on how fleeting life is : September 5 2024

i had a very short walk today and i was just happy i took that walk no matter how short it was. there were just some things up my mind that i had to think through, needed to reflect about something i unfortunately had caught wind of. i received a heavy news that a colleague of mine has decided to un-alive himself (sorry for the term but i am not sure if topics like this is allowed in hive). i personally do not know the person, but the mere fact that we are working in the same company, possibly interacted with the same people, bothered me a lot.
 
i have always valued life and have always believed of its sanctity. i think i was raised to be this way, and i continue to believe that taking my own life is something i would not even consider. i hope most of my readers also share the same sentiments as mine, it is just depressing to hear news of this nature. it makes me think and reflect, and walking does help.
 

 
 
 
reasons may vary as much as the grains of sand on a beach, but i guess no one will ever have that thought unless they are unhappy with the current situation. it may be due to problems, or due to ideals not reached, but people who are under a lot of stress i think are the most vulnerable. i am in no position to deny a person from feeling that way, but my own mind tells me that a problem, no matter how big, is solvable. it may not dissipate completely in one day, but taking several days or even years to fix things is not something to be ashamed of. sometimes, things are not instant and we just have to accept that fact.
 
life goals are also not perfect and having no goal, although difficult to grasp by some, can also work just fine. like the field above, life is wide; although you see your goal, sometimes you just miss and walk past. but that is definitely not the end, you can always try again. or if that really does not work, you can always make and see a new goal post in the distance and probably aim for that the next time.
 

 
but please, when you think you can't solve it on your own, please seek help. if you believe in a supreme being then go talk to him and ask for guidance. talk with your friends. if your friends don't respond, then find another friend, or relative, or even a doctor. don't just stop with few friends when they don't respond, try talking to more. talk it out. letting out your emotions helps. just do not get discouraged.
