Nothing lasts forever.....
Nothing lasts forever.... Even the corona virus! How many pandemics and epidemics the world has gone through?! We read about them in history. So, this COVID-19 will also be history very soon.
I do firmly believe in this. Be it any calamity, disaster, loss....., the passing of time certainly heals the wound. Of course, the scar may remain forever. The intensity of pain will gradually fade away. The grief will surface once in a while after some time. Time is the time-proven healer for all maladies. Okay, some people may differ from my views and I can understand that.
Likewise, even the happiest moments pass off with the running of time. We would not feel the same intense feeling of happiness after some time. Everything will pass. So, no need of over-rejoicing (at happy times) or total depression (over grief/loss). The scriptures teach us this very clearly. Take everything in its stride. When we face the moment of happiness, we should enjoy it (not overdo it) and when we face sad and unhappy situations, we should feel for it and not get devastated. And let me remind you that no one is an exception to this (happy and sad happenings). Only the degree might differ.
For example, when death of a close family member takes place, it seems to be the end of life for the surviving members. It is true that the loss is unbearable. Though it is a known fact that no one lives for ever, we mourn the loss as if we are the only ones subjected to such unfortunate events. This is especially so, when the death occurs unexpectedly and at a very early age of the deceased. God has His own ways of devising and deciding everyone's life. We should believe and accept His verdict. What we can do is to plead to God to give us strength in such situations to come over the grief and lead our future life properly. Losing faith in God does not help us in any way.
I can hear you saying that only if I have to face such unpleasant situations, I will realize. Of course I am also human; and I have faced such losses in my life. But I have not lost my belief in God. I have accepted His ways, without questioning. The loss gives different meanings to life. We start living with a different purpose in life and leave the rest to God. I know several ladies who lost their husbands at a very early age and they have come out of the tragedy and achieved tremendous things and reached great heights in their lives. It is not that they have forgotten their early lives with the husbands. They would carry that grief throughout their lives. So, never lose heart, as future holds lot of promise. Have a balanced mind, treating every happening in life, equally. Equal vision towards everything.
