I have noticed something: when people hear about someone’s death, many of them say, “Oh, I just saw that person a day ago, an hour ago, or recently,” and many of them add that the person seemed healthy. But that’s not always true. You can’t know the pain someone carries inside, even if you are their mother. Every person can have deep sorrows in their heart. Do you know what I’m trying to say? We need to appreciate our friends, family members, and loved ones. The person you think is healthy might actually be ill. The person you see today, you might not see tomorrow. No one can guarantee that someone will live a long life.
And another thing, we often talk only about respecting elderly people, and our parents and relatives tell us, “Respect your grandparents because they may pass away soon.” But who knows, we might leave this world before them. So value every person; death doesn’t choose based on time or age. Just because someone is young, don’t underestimate them. That young child could pass away before growing up. People say, “Do young children have any sorrows?” They ask you, “Do you have any sorrows?” They say, “Young children don’t think about anything,” but you see, we are not young children anymore. I think more about my life, my studies, and my future than my relatives. I worry and feel stressed about it. Therefore, treat every person equally. Interact with young people the same way you interact with older people.
Don’t forget to ask about the well-being of your loved ones, because they might be struggling with sorrows and could pass away in a few days due to stress.
