I won't say that the one I just attended is not family.It is just someone whom I am not very familiar with.When the aunty cried,my heart twisted and my throat choked.It is so scary how someone you love so much and have by your side daily can in a split moment, be gone forever.I am not trying to be pessimistic here.Infact,I am trying to be optimistic.Death teaches us many things.One of which is not to take the people around us for granted.Feuds may arise but settle them once you can because you never know when it will be too late to say sorry.Let go of grudges.Forgive and forget.All those fights we have with friends and family seem so small all of a sudden,I realised.

Death also has another lesson to teach.That is,we are all humans no matter how super human we believe we are.Even the most influential of men will turn into dust one day.So would you and me.So you know what?Lets all humble down?Lets be humble and not be too arrogant.Be happy with your achievments in life but do not be too boastful about them.Instead,use the achievements and recognition you get to help those less fortunate then you.You will be happy and so is the one you helped.

Do not laugh at my sudden language of wisdom.Did I not mention that I can really amaze myself at times?Well,it is evident here.Haha..As I look back and read what I just typed,I cannot believe that it is me,Divya,who actually typed all that out.

But I did.I learned alot in that half hour I was there at the funeral home.

Life indeed has lessons to teach us.
