"..... for Tomorrow we die"

“Eat, Drink & Be Merry for tomorrow we die” is a famous idiom from the Bible, quoted by many to express a carefree life. Though people seem to take the first half portion of the idiom seriously, they tend to ignore the second half. In yet another verse of the same book, the writer tells us that, “A wise person thinks a lot about death”. Death could be the last thing that we would want to think about in our life and hence most of the time death catches up with us unexpectedly. I thought over that phrase and found it truly to be a wise thing to do.

The first benefit that comes to my mind is adequate time for planning. If we have a long term solo trip in our schedule and we have to leave our family behind, we start planning and preparing well in advance. We schedule automated payments for our bills, we would arrange for someone to take care of our family, house and belongings, put everything in order and so on. Don’t we do all this to ensure that life for our loved ones continues unhindered in our absence? Thinking about death helps us plan backwards in our life.

I learnt in school that, “Man is a social animal”. Never did I understand it so clearly like I do now. We were never created to live in isolation but to live together in a society. In today’s world, the focus has moved away from a social life to that of an individual life. “I”, “Me”, “Mine”, is the mantra of our living today. All of us are just interested in securing our own future and what we fail to realize is that our future is linked to other people who co-exist with us on this planet. This is true, whether we like it or not. We have no choice in this matter. If we truly love ourselves and our family and if we desire a better future then our investments cannot be just in ourselves but also in the social environment where we exist and grow.
 
We cannot expect to live in this world and not be affected with what’s happening around us. Very shortly, we too will get affected. Millions of children are dying because of hunger, they don’t have access to clean drinking water, they have to opt out or never get a chance to go to school and they are our next generation. If we impact their lives today, then, they will grow up to be better human beings with morals and values. If we correct the upcoming generation then the future will be better. If this generation goes forward with pain and hurt in their life then it will ultimately create more of dysfunctional people and it sure will make this world a darker place.
