I am at a certain part of life , when I now see bigger then life Icons dieing and it only confirms one thing life is finite, when I was younger sure, there were news about folks passing away but it was unimaginable as I had no personal contact with these iconic or not so iconic people, I was busy with doing homework just to get my grades trying to grow up. The finite nature of life was not clear, a classmate died when I was grade 2 or 3 but my mind did not understand what it meant , he just did not show up to class after.
As I grew, certain people their star just shined so brightly - they were the envy of our planet's population. The landmark of Success. They were bigger than life , their stories in news were guaranteed just like the sun rises in East every day, it became a routine
- These icons were brightest people, charismatic folks of their generation and millions or even billions watched them reach their peak and awe'ed at their achievements
- Princesses
- Singers
- Dancers
- Sports Man
- Actress /Actor
and so on.....
Slowly I now see such icons dying left and right , natural causes or accident or incidents such is way of life
- The icons had a sense of immortality about them bigger than life
- Paparazzi followed them day and night
Yet in a blink of an eye ... the flame vanishes
Everyone, one day will move to the afterlife
The time we are here is little
The planet continues to live on , it has been here for billions of years
The planet , is robust and has no connection to who lives or who goes , the next morning comes after the nightfall such is the way of the planet , it's been like this for billion of years
The Sun rises in East and the heat warms the planet and flowers bloom , and clouds slowly drift away
The Candle which burned so brightly in the corner, is there no more, but you can tell it was there once , as you see traces of wax that once there was something there .... on this planet
