Death

The death of anyone is a cause of grief to at least one or more people in the world. Death comes like unknown thief in the middle of something and takes away the life of a person. Death has always been and still continues to be a mystery. No one knows the day or hour but the only thing we know is that death is a reality which doesn’t spare anyone. Jesus quoted in the Scripture says, “Be prepared for you know not the day or the hour.” He is urging us to be alive, active and prepared because no one on this Earth knows or can predict when one/ other is going to die.

                I have written so much in the first paragraph because it is the main climax of the dream I had. On the night before I went to bed, during the night talk Fr. Robert announced that one of my companions would receive an injection on one of the nerves connected to his stomach. I received it as normal news that came to us during the night talks that were given.

                It was a normal night and I had no disturbance or any other problems as such. However in my dream I heard a voice saying, “Your friend is dead.” I was really shocked. I couldn’t see what was going on in my dream because everything appeared to be black. I could feel the inner turmoil and confusion over the death of my friend. However when I awoke and saw that my friend was still there I felt relaxed. I don’t know the significance and meaning of this dream, neither do I know why this dream came to me that night. Maybe the meaning and its deeper understanding may come later on in life.

                The important things to learn or to take note of are that:

                Death is a reality

                No one knows the day or the hour.
